Does anyone here have, or know of any link, between artistic talent and BPD? My entire life, I've had success with my writing. It feels natural to me, but I'm wondering if I'm just a highly sensitive person and that is what does it.

I have done a lot of research on famous writers (like Sylvia Plath and Ernest Hemingway), and am getting the idea that a lot of them actually did have BPD. And their writing is just...beautiful. Otherworldly. Something that is so good, how could it have ever been taught to them? It feels like they have natural talent for writing just by simply reading their works. I can FEEL it almost.

I also had a grandparent who was a good writer, and through my research have found him to have suffered from BPD also. Thought that was interesting enough to throw in.

I am also bipolar, and I don't know how that ties in. But I DO have friends with either bipolar or BPD, and I kid you not, every single one of them has a profound talent for something (usually artistic) like writing or drawing or painting, etc.

Do you have what feels like a natural talent for something? How do you think BPD might tie into that?
