I could go into a long list of pros and cons to rping by those with and without mental illness. Over 20 years online doing this and I've probably seen it all from each age group and spectrum. If you look at most any creative person chances are they have something that separates them from the "norms" - The more creative, chances are the more mental illness is present. Just look through history at the greats in Art, Acting, Writing, etc. Even genius's in technical, mathematical, and scientific fields. Anyone from Williams to Van Gogh to Tesla, it's present. I think the same goes for Rpers. We create world's to either help deal or explore our personal issues. Healthy? Maybe not, especially if we are pushing the envelope but there are worse games to play.
