Hello, I am a newbie. I was dx with manic depression in the late 1980's. I love this photo. I have been wanting one like this, portraying the 2 sides on the same face since 2004. I saw a painting in Cleveland, Ohio with a man looking straight out from the painting with one side clearly depression and the other side mania.
I am horrible at most creative things. However, I can or could write. I have years of written journaling. I don't feel like typing will be the same. I am willing to try now. It is more important now than ever to journal. I need to feel the purging and happiness and on and on.
I stopped breathing Jan 2014 and was placed on a ventilator. I woke up in March in a specialty Hospital, then Rehab to learn how to walk again, 3 blood clots, 2 tracheostomies and menangerie (spelled wrong) of other problems and hospitalizations I am now home. I drove for the first time 2 days ago. Now what does all of this have to do with my writing? I have lost a lot of memory, though I continue to recover. My dominant hand was somehow injured (no one knows how) and I have permanent nerve damage to that hand. Poor grip. I have taught myself to sign my name.
I was a critical care nurse for 27 years, so I am not tolerating this well. Well, really I am.
So, that is the short part of my saga.
I love your work. Thank you for sharing.

This could also represent depression in general. I was never manic but had times of normalness followed by up to a week of extreme lows. The look on the left shows the low and the look on the right shows how I would always put on a face for others to see so they wouldn't worry or ask me about it. The expressions are pretty accurate. When I felt low there was often no look of pain or any dramatic expression...just emptiness.

this is pretty good, would be better if the depression side had more emotion in it

That would be the mixed state. In a mania, there is no memory of the depression, and in the depression there is even less memory of the happiness.

Exactly when I wondered why I don't see you around much I noticed this new dev of yours.
Lovely. In a devastating way.
