I answered "other".
I dabble in graphic art, piddle with guitar playing, make music re-mixes, needle point and do other various creative things.
Here is a link to some of my art. If it doesn't work, let me know. I can't remember if I made that folder private or not.

I said other because though I write alot and draw/paint and sculpt...mostly I play guitar...or I did before I started taking lithium.  I haven't played in 5 months!

Other - graphic design (a couple of vexel's made with the GIMP), web design. Mostly just dabble and it's generally derivative.  Also enjoy the artist potential of mathematics but never quite got my head around the more advanced stuff.  I enjoy drywall finishing, painting & molding work too cause it has a certain artistic potential.  Nothing more annoying than sloppy molding; there shouldn't be a single discountinuous surface in the whole place   And i hate it when you see a house painted with bad trim or visible drywall seems...you're home should be your castle, after all   I think i went off on a tangent a bit but i try to think of whatever work i'm doing as a form of art; it can't just work good, it should look good too.  Oh and i also like to cook but it's been years since i've had good facilities (used to work in a restaurant; been two years but we'll be re-opening soon.)

I am a sculpture. I'm terrified of losing that. How do I get better and maintain my identity at the same time?

Its very hard for me to do portraits, its hard for me to make it look just like them.  I started playing guitar again and there is no negative effect on my musical talent.  I'm slightly uncoordinated (due to the lithium) and dog training is slightly awkward when it involves using one or more training tools.  But I have a hell of a lot more patience and consistancy.  Overall with art/music, I don't have the manic creative quantum leaps...at least not since I was manic in Febuary. 

Despite the effects treatment has had on my cognitive functioning...my biggest regret is NOT GETTING HELP SOONER!!!  Adjusting to being depolarized is really weird esp at first.  But its worth it.

I am a poet. Before i even started getting treatment i was the bomb at writing poems and essays in school. I won awards in class and was the best poet in my drama class and wrote the best scripts. I want that all back bc i have a huge imagination. I'm slowly gettin it back.
