Thank you, my pfp is a digital painting, I use a drawing tablet.
Do you take meds?
I am trying to find the right combination that works for me.
that's so interesting! I loved sculpting, it's so enriching to the soul. You sound like a very creative person for delving into so many things.
I'm a writer.
Oh that's so wonderful! It saddens me how such creative people end up here. Life should really let you finish your novel, I'm sure it would be great. I hope that would turns into will, I hope life can be kinder to you...
Is it a big creative block or just feeling like being creative won't bring you joy so you don't attempt it?
It's a general block in everything, even reading books (I haven't read in years) or watching movies (I watch them in several days most of the time). I also can't normally play video games for example (but I played one last year that didn't give me anxiety).
That's so cool! And, small world, I work in game development, as a programmer. I admire people who can be good at so many things, really not easy, way to go!
Creativity and neuroticism correlate to a degree, I believe. And high neuroticism increases mental health problems. So it's not surprising that a lot artists would end up here. Plus, society does not properly value and reward art, often.
Most artists wish they were better, even the really good ones. In fact, if I were to bet part of what makes the really good artists so good is always striving to be better than they are.
I've come up with ideas for stories mainly, and I'm finally now trying to make anything of them 
Art with a touch component, as part of its effect on the audience. It can range from performance art, to jewelry, to pervasive computing... etc
