Do you write poetry or short stories as a form of therapy?

Question

...or for other reasons and which are these reasons?

Answer 1

i wouldn't call it "therapy" i would call it a "release". i believe Even stress can alter the mind creativity as far as writing goes. it helps. when i write an ode to something i am stressed about, i go back to reading it a week later and it always astonishes me.

Answer 2

Yes, I love to write, it calms me down. But I find that when I write poetry and short stories I get frustrated with my own limitations, because I always compare my work with others. So sometimes writing isn't the most relaxing thing I can do, but I love to do it.

Answer 3

No, not really
