self expression

[solitarymonkey]

how do people on here express themselves? specifically? i used to play guitar, paint (a little bit), take photo's, and sometimes even write little poems (usually to tell my girlfriend at the time how much i cared about her). but nowadays i have no motivation to do these things anymore. i'm bored of playing my guitar, too avoidant to go out taking photo's (mild solitary based agoraphobia?), uninspired to paint, and currently have no girlfriend to write poems to.
i need to get all this mess out of my head, but cant concentrate on the few things i used to do. so what kinda idea's have you all got?

I really don't express myself, everything with me is inward, although I have dabbled in writing poetry and painting..but slowly lose interest.
Basically though if your creativity is lagging you could possibly just be in a funk or depressed.
When you suddenly stop doing things you enjoy its a warning that something is wrong.

I'm a writer. Got a giant "go to hell Dad" screenplay that might actually get the green light. Got lucky that way. Feels being - out of it/ like an alien - helps further fuel me. As once said about Hollywood - it's the land of the broken. Might be why I love it out there, I feel at home there the most.

I blog. And I read. When I read I become the characters in the book, always have, it's marvelous. ^_^

I draw a lot. I used to write too.

i wish i could concentrate long enough to read. last book i properly read was the da vinci code, several years ago :s
what do you all do when you feel like this?
(and i got diagnosed with a "moderate depressive episode" in october last year. truth is, i believe i'm slightly bipolar, they just dont believe me. yet.)

Writing is my only form of expression, atm & has been for a long time. When I was a kid, I was very good at drawing & was even told by a teacher I could make a great artist one day, but I stopped doing it, for some reason. I've been wanting to start painting again, but first I need the supplies. As soon as I actually have money I can spend, I'm going to buy myself some art supplies & get back into that again. I think it would be good for me.
