Clearly, not everyone that is mentally ill is a creative genius and vice versa. But there is an obvious connection. Ive struggled with depression for most of my life, even as a kid. Ive always been told Im weird, or the things I think about, the connections I make are so random or weird. I am creative, I draw and Im a photographer. Its hard to get out of the funk because your mind feels like youre in a labyrinth that never ends. The thoughts and dreams and things never stop and theres this constant hunger for information. It gets to the point where I cant talk to most people about what Im interested in because they have no idea what Im talking about and I just see myself sometimes overwhelming people with information. Or people take it like Im being a know it all snob when they mention something and Ive heard of it, or know about it. And that makes it even harder, people misunderstand you. Ive just gotten to the point where when Im around simple people, I tone it down and keep my thoughts to myself. I guess the most basic way to put it is, its really hard to find anyone that I can bounce ideas and knowledge off of where they can keep up. I have a few friends like that, but I need more. Sometimes I dont know if I was born depressed or if the feeling of never, ever fitting in and constantly being misunderstood has made me this way. -Anonymous but could very well have written it myself
