Xanthe finds writing and painting to be therapeutic. She has lived with mental illness for over 25 years. She has been diagnosed with bipolar 1 disorder, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and social anxiety disorder after originally being diagnosed with 'treatment resistant' depression with general anxiety.

She started painting abstracts after going back on medication for bipolar disorder after another mania episode. More recently, she has been painting more realistic subjects.

Xanthe has been told that her insights, writing and art are inspiring. It helps give her a sense of meaning and purpose to have creative expression despite the challenges.

Comments are welcome but no personal attacks nor attacks on others.

Xanthe's opinions and personal experiences are no substitute for independent professional advice.
