The highs and lows of manic depression moments of brilliance coupled with the inability to tie one's own shoes without completely losing patience racing thoughts no hunger can't sleep can't remember what day it is incessant need to organize overwhelmed by all the papers all the books walking fast talking fast forgetting important things developing many plan Bs if you can't find it develop another plan strangely, it feels like you've broken through a cocoon suddenly you remember everything you ever wanted to do in life develop a sixth sense a very accurate sixth sense no inhibitions breaking through the river between consciousness and subconsciousness Integrating the two spheres hard to comprehend frightening and confusing but also breathtaking ! somehow you can now communicate with your subconscious self manic depression can motivate a person to live up to their full potential can awaken a person -- internally and externally manic depression can also bring out a person's worst attributes overly-aggressive, dark and ugly van Gogh suffered immeasurably from his illness tried to resolve his conflicting emotions through his paintings A BRILLIANT MADNESS ! many geniuses have suffered from this illness evidence of their brilliance can be found in lyrics works of art drama television advertising Van Gogh left his mark but alas he succumbed to the brilliant madness died at a very young age wrestled with his demons and lost BUT before he went he painted a portrait of himself and Mona Lisa what i suspect he was trying to say is that even though he didn't make it in his lifetime he is hell-bent on coming back in another vessel in another shell he will finish what he started van gogh's spirit will never die In fact, i think he lives in our midst today just a matter of time before he makes himself known to us (minus one ear) go van gogh go van gogh go van gogh elizabeth
