• Q&A...

  
  

  elwin_windleaf commented about me using Xanga to get my frustrations out and asked if maybe more people couldn't use this as a tactic. I am guessing he meant in reference to combating the mood swings of bipolar disorder.

  
  

  I have always felt that writing is a prized tool for coping with mood swings, life, whatever. Some people draw, some people put together models... hobbies, in and of themselves help us to combat frustration, anger... mood swings in general.

  
  

  Our hobbies allow us to relax and destress. That is what writing does for me. I can get it out of my system if I can write it out.

  
  

  Many bipolar people tend to have a creativity gene or something. You'll find, in this old world, BPers who write, draw, paint, sculpt... anything creative like that. Its a part of who we are.

  
  

  So friends, what is YOUR creative outlet?
