Hi 
I could relate to most of what you wrote. Writing is a therapeutic exercise. In particular, the things you never end up publishing are what help you most to let off steam. I’m the eldest sister too, and I’ve felt that responsibility of being the organised one in the family. I understand you completely. It’s wonderful that you have your partner to complement you and bring you that sense of calm when you need it. I had to look up what a tarsier is, hehe, I love those little monkeys but didn’t know their name. Now I do, thanks to you!!
As you already have a great mentor, I’ll just leave you with some useful information and recommend that you explore the communities I’ve linked below. You could start with Worldmappin. Enjoy this new adventure.
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!
