/lit/ - Literature

Just been diagnosed with bipolar disorder..feelsbadman. Does /lit/ know any bipolar writers? I know Poe and F Scott Fitzgerald were, but any other major writers?

And anyone on /lit/ have bipolar disorder? Does it help in your reading/artistic abilities? I tend to go on a reading marathon in my ups, but can't read at all when I feel like shit.

OP, how can I list classics which I have never heard of?

I borrowed 3 guides from a friend, im sure you can borrow a couple from the library.

I made it to page 20ish or so, every 3 pages took me an hour of notes and annotations in my copy, but it was all starting to come together. It was just exhausting, really, but when you make sense of it all, it really is rewarding. Good luck
