I went to a Van Gogh Immersive experience with a friend. Art is not something I would say I am not very educated on and often am unable to see beyond 'painting pretty'. Van Gogh is one exception. By coincidence in my formal and informal education, he was the one artist that kept coming up time and time again. Retrospective psychology is a bit controversial in both history and psychology academia but the typical consensus is that Van Gogh most likely had bipolar or similar. I just sat in a room, with his paintings animated around me. Seeing someone who was suffering before we have the treatment options today being able to create such beautiful pieces who would eventually succumb to the thing that may have helped create his art was just an experience that was overwhelming in the best possible way. Being able to sit there and feel things without it becoming an anxiety/panic attack. I never thought I would be able to strike that balance between being a zombie due to my meds, and being overwhelmed to the point of not functioning, but experiencing something that proves those worries wrong was something that felt like actual notable progress.
