Do you ever make art only to be told it looks stupid and you're crazy?

I was undiagnosed most of my life, then diagnosed but un-medicated (I would forget or think I was more creative without it), in and out of psych ward for most of my life, I met my now partner. After my first really bad manic episode after we moved in together, they picked me up from the hospital, got me a therapist and a psychiatrist, and monitors me for medication compliance. I've been relatively stable and medicated for 5 years now.

We bought a house and I have free reign to decorate however I see fit. I've always been an artist, finding medication that let me still be creative and medicated took some time but the balance is good now. Nobody who has come to my house has been anything but kind and complimentary of my paint and decor. Reddit however, tore me to shreds over paint colors and decor placement. I deleted the post and cried.

The paint, art, plants, it all makes me happy. I wake up and don't feel like I'm floating in milk (how my brain sees white walls). It took me 2 years before I put a single hole in the wall due to being scared. I didn't truely believe I had a home I could do whatever with. I was born and raised in a rented house and moved from apartment to apartment as an adult. My partner was so happy the day I hung my first piece of art. They said it means I feel safe here. Now I'm wondering if letting a bipolar person decorate was a bad idea and I should have hired an interior designer?
