Hullo and welcome! I saw a lot of correlations in our life stories. I, too, love to draw and write, was strongly encouraged to be a Christian (is 'strongly' a strong enough word? probably not. lol.) but decided not to be, and I was diagnosed with numerous mental disorders because I had access to a world that other people couldn't perceive. I'm glad you've figured out that you're perfect just the way you are. The best thing you can be is yourself!
