I discovered one day that the mood swings were actually helping with my creativity, even though they were making me feel awful. I am a writer/artist, and analyzing my intense emotions allowed me to open up more in my writing and art.

I also discovered that one of the best ways to stop yourself from sinking is to do something positive for the community. Psychology and creativity being my favorite topics, I got a friend and my mother to help me put together a website to help people with mental disorders re-discover their creativity.

This blog has been so uplifting to read. Thanks so much for such a wonderful gift.

Love,
Margaret
