I've played clarinet and piano most of my life. It's the one and only talent I have and I am proud of. Musical talent doesn't run in the family, just one great-uncle. I believe my talent might be partially relative to the BP and OCD, but I don't know how. I've always noticed how my brain works so differently compared to others, getting from point a to b. Could the musical talent be part of that?

Playing has been my escape, my sanity. I remember when I was a teenager and when the BP and OCD came about. I would play for hours and just go into my own world. There was no screaming, throwing things, cutting myself, washing my hands over and over, just music. This is what gets me thru the day.
