Thanks for sharing so openly. I feel like I got to know you even deeper with this post.
The link between high IQ and physical and psychological illness is fascinating. I can understand the connection.
I just want to say I love your brain in all its expressions. I've read some of your past work, the ones with intense vocabulary and excessively complex sentence structures, and I soaked up every single word. I loved it and even recall finding myself in tears by how beautiful your words and thinking are.
What I also respect about you is that regardless of how intellectual you can be (or how you tame it down for the average person), you also have more social-emotional intelligence and knowledge of energy systems than many people I know. Furthermore, your capacity as an artist and painter is a stunning portrayal of who you are beyond your mental intelligence. Even if your painting skills aren't what they used to be due to not practicing much these days, the fact that you can feel things deeply and pick up on emotions and feeling states that you then express in your art... is absolutely mindblowing and breathtaking.
