As my depression deepens, I find myself less able to ACT on my creative impulses. I lie in bed all day and still THINK about the projects I want to do--I've even planned some of them (in my head) down to tiny details. But I have no energy to fulfill them.But since I no longer express my art, my ideas are becoming fewer and further between. Maybe I should write them down--I wonder if they'll sound as good if/when I stop falling down the black hole?
As for intelligence, my observation has been that genuinely "perky" people usually are not particularly bright. Don't flame me, I'm sure there's an exception out there somewhere. There are days I'd gladly choose "perky" for myself over intelligence.
