Hi welcome to Hive. I'm
from Lovesniper OCD team.
Oh, your story is a great life lesson. You have been through all kinds of experiences at such a young age. I could relate to some of the episodes you mention, such as giving yourself over to your passion and the negative consequences that no one explains to you. I am glad you have found that balance that allows you to enjoy both your personal and professional life. I look forward to reading more of what you have to tell us soon. I invite you to visit the communities I link below and wish you luck.
Tips and information as a Hive newbie here: newbie guide.
Communities you might like that are part of the OCD Communities Incubation Program. Important: read their rules and post in the one that fits your content.
Have a good day!
