I think there is way more nuance to making art than romanticising your illness, and I think the push back on the romantisation of mental illness is equally harrowing.

To romanticize something is to make it appear more appealing than it really is, which frankly I don't see in almost any art pieces here. A lot of it is scary, weird, funky, and occasionally downright ugly, but that's kind of the point-- the disorder means many things to different people, and creativity means many things to different people.

Art therapy has been around for a long time, and it has success rates that equal that of other therapies. To brush that off is excessively shortsighted.

I like your piece. It reads like it could be a song.
