I'm sure many of you have experienced it...
How does depression effect creativity?
It wipes it clean.
I don't suffer from depression per se...more like situational depression. I have a lot on my plate. And in my glass. When you don't do illegal drugs, the legal ones work just fine. I have probably been slightly inebriated since February. Things are coming to a peak, the mountain will either be a smooth slide down or a rocky, foot cutting extended hike. I'll know soon.
I guess a true creationist (new meaning for the term...'one who must create') still finds an outlet. Mine has been nails.
I paint my nails. All the time. I have explored glitters, mattes, foils, one coat versus two coat, non-acetone remover versus acetone remover, etc. The fleeting act of simply spreading color over ten tiny canvases is all I need right now to exist. Yesterday, orange with black glitter. Two days before, aqua with green and silver flecks of glitter. Today, dark lovely navy. Tomorrow I will spread a blue glitter top coat and consider it a job well done.
I want to get back into painting sometimes. Maybe I'll use nail polish, since I have a rainbow in my bathroom cabinets now!
