[QUOTE="Star*, post: 145934, member: 4964"] I am sorry to hear about the loss of your grandmother. My hugs to you. My so is possible BiPolar (BP) - the jury is still out on a diagnosis for him. But the best thing he has found to control the mini-mania (as he calls it) is just working in the yard - HARD - like raking leaves and making yourself sweat a lot - maybe exercising to a video or something? As far as the art? How about outline art or cartooning? Get yourself a tablet and when you feel a mood coming on - get it out and draw or trace - YES TRACE things you have printed off the internet!! Use your window and put the thing to be traced as well as a piece of paper over it and trace it with the light behind it - Even tracing is drawing - and then you can get some crayons or colored pencils and color it in - You do NOT have to be an artist to create something - even if you change it a little - it's still yours. I draw/paint - and I taught this technique to my son - who NOW -can draw very well - incredibly well - just by looking at something because he got the "feel" for it by tracing.....outlines nothing to intricate. Draw smiley faces - and do expressions..... Don't limit yourself !!!!!! [/QUOTE]
