Under Construction - MHWA Retreat

Do you see yours represented?
Didn’t get that far.

Is art like this an accurate depiction of mental illness?
I’m sure it can be.

Do you think people with mental illnesses are more prone to creativity?
Absolutely! Can you say Romantic era poets

Why or why not? We think more. About feelings and emotions. It’s not an easy road, thinking more...

In what ways are you creative other than writing?
I have great color sense, don’t give a fig about fashion, and decorating is fun. I try crafts but my execution sucks. Good ideas tho. Musically inclined.

Can you think of any (other) pros of your specific mental illness(es)?
Not that aren’t full of faith

I really do not like the ghoulishness of this art. It doesn’t speak to me. It’s got no beauty in it, and I like pretty things. I hate that anyone can relate to this art, but I get it. If I ha$ to draw a representation of my wreck of a carcass, it’d probably be a poor imitation of these. Luckily, I have no drawing talent whatsoever *laughing*
