Creativity isn’t screwing up your life. Resisting it is.

Does creativity increase your depression? Or does depression increase your creativity?

Neither. It’s just that after you create something huge, your mind gets into a state of not wanting to think about what you have accomplished recently. Also it stays occupied with processing the new material and everything you’ve done and have been through during the creation time. This makes you too occupied to be able to focus on anything, even entertainment. After the processing is done you start feeling you’re above the clouds. Creativity isn’t a pathway for depression. It’s the cure. Learn to rest, not to quit.
