    One of my favorite vocalists/singers !! that's why I like this guy so much, his honesty, the F the rules, and most important thing.. his signature style has a soul, it's very intentional. I agree about not listening to the same music you want to create, not to completely avoid it but somewhere in the mind we get this thought "I wanna sound like that band / guitarist / whatever!" and that ruins the creation process and being yourself with the instrument.

      ​@@francescapalumbo392 I've known a few people who do it. It's pretty strict, the big toll is usually the specific medication's you have to come off for the electroshock therapy. I've always refused that route as I don't believe it's that beneficial in the end. However it's not shocking nowadays that someone goes that route. It's certainly better than the havoc strong medications have on your mind & body. In hindsight, medication isn't therapy, it's there to "stabilize you" so you can function as a normal person would. But it usually comes at a cost of sort of hiding your true passion, identity, personality, things that make you feel human. I personally found it to be counterproductive to achieving balance or getting better. I also made sure to not say or reveal anything that could be perceived/interpreted as psychotic as then it would throw away my efforts to convince Drs I know my best course of treatment. Drs have to recognize through the way you articulate your situation is a congruous state. And if you are having a incongruous affect you gotta keep reminding them you are aware your in that state so they realize you haven't lost the plot, gone "insane". I dunno if that makes sense I'm tired and digress.
