For me, it's more the preening romanticism that people attach to mentally ill artists like Hemingway. Speaking as someone with mental illness and as an artist, shut the hell up! You don't create great art because of your mental illness, you create mental art in spite of your mental illness! Also, there's the obvious argument that maybe Hemingway would have produced more great art and not blown his brains out if he had been properly medicated and gotten therapy for his issues.

I know I sound so angry, but like I said the preening romanticism pisses me off.

OMG don't you realize how ~pretty~ it is to be tormented by your own brain?

I hear you completely. Romanticizing mental illness pisses me the hell off. Especially the, "medication will destroy your creativity and make you a zombie!" bullshit. Yeah, for some people, meds hurt creativity, but when I'm off my meds, I can't do fucking ANYTHING, creative or non.

I agree. Especially when it is coupled with excusing/overlooking abuse because art.
