Do you have a particular quote you think of when you need strength?

Here's mine. I also keep this quote in my son's lunchbox so he sees it when he goes to school every day. #theVanGoghComplex #bipolarcreatives #bipolardiaries #neurodivergent

I finally learned...

Well, I finally learned to make my own Brigid's crosses this year. My grandmother most certainly knew how to make these as a child but due to her own mental health struggles never taught me before her death years ago. For thousands of years my people have made these and I really felt that connection across time making my own. It was a really beautiful experience that I thought I'd share. What beauty did you discover today? Learn something new too? Share with us... #theVanGoghComplex #bipolarcreatives

How is your creativity today?

Started anything new? See anything beautiful or inspiring today? I went to a park this morning to walk out some painful feelings. It was inspiring... I think I'll create something or maybe just sing to myself for bit... good morning, Loves! ❤❤❤ #theVanGoghComplex #bipolarcreatives

Playing with makeup today...

It's been so long since I've felt like wearing makeup. I didn't go anywhere. I did this for me and I felt really good. It felt so nice, just to play and be and give myself a little love. Did you give yourself love and joy today? In some small way. #theVanGoghComplex #Bipolar #Bipolar1 #bipolardiaries

A Winter Solstice Sharing by Alizon #theVanGoghComplex #bipolarart #bipolarpoetry #bipolarpoet #bipolarcreative

The intention of this universe is set

The arresting tide, it rains, it snows

The breath of alchemy as it rises

The breath of alchemy as it falls

The chest is full

The chest is empty… waiting ;

A labyrinthine light skates across a stone floor

A fire promised, it rains, it snows

A breath of alchemy arises

A breath of alchemy descends

A chest is still

A chest is heavy… waiting;

To be born a pinpoint of light

To grow in pain and woe, it rains, it snows

To grow in joy in contrast

To find ourselves still

To find ourselves held…. waiting.

Working on handpainting boxes...

I find painting these paper boxes very therapeutic. The ones pictured are already days of dots in the making.... Are you making anything today? #theVanGoghComplex #bipolarcreatives #bipolarartists #bipolarart #bipolardiaries
