TDS Recovering addicts and their original music/art/whatever!

[aoraki]

Hey all!

Im in the deep deep depths of addiction. The only thing keepin me remotely sane is getting all my internal pain out into a song. It is the most cathartic and soothing experience. By my accounts most of the people I meet with drug dependency and mental health issues are the most creative and gifted. Is it our desire to experience all realms of perception and experience the world through the full spectrum of "filters"? Is it that we become overawed with our depth of feeling and emotion that we need to to feel just a little numb. I know for me it was a combination of both.
Anyway, I find I am at my most creative when i am reeling with strong emotion. How do you deal with life? What is the most cathartic creative pursuit for you? And link samples! (not sure if against guidelines, im new)..

Heres one of my latest, sorrybout my lack of drum skills, am tryin to find someone to add drum track..
Listen and enjoy!

girl and bird thingy

I really like mermaids

I crochet too

I also make hats

I'm basically always making stuff. I dunno that it keeps me sane, but when I'm antsy and don't know what to do with myself I figure it can't hurt to make something.
