Due to my mental health, Hive is something I've always try to make a way of living while writing about the things I am passionate about (in my case, music and art in general), but I sink. Constantly, I get stuck in my own head.
I really love being part of a community that contributes so much just for the sake of doing so, and that, in the process, motivates me to do it too. That is the great thing about Hive.
I started just exactly where you are @danirtist , I wasn't in the right mental state and hive helped me channel my creativity. I am definitely at much a better place. You'll get there and I wish you luck. And you can always find the place where you feel home the most, contribute there, and who knows, where the road will lead you!
