Hello @mollythegreat and welcome to Steemit :) My name is Devon, though most people call me by the pseudonym Lucky. On here I am none other than @terminallyill. I was introduced to you by your friend @dizzyjay. I want to start with saying you have a very great introduction and are a very welcomed addition to the platform.
It's nice to meet people on here that I share similarities with despite our different walks of life. I too share some of your same hobbies and have dealt with issues from depression and anxiety on numerous occasions. Like you, I found ways to cope, though I have found the absolute best remedies are reaching out to talk to someone and of course, laughter :) I'm interested in knowing what you do in the field of technology? You sound like an absolutely amazing and interesting person.
Let me go ahead and extend a few offers to you. I myself am very active within the community, especially with growing new members and helping them get on their feet for the journey to come. I'd like to offer to show you the ropes and assist you in any way possible. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to ask me. I am noted on here for providing understandable tutorials and for my teaching ability, so you will be in good hands. Let me know if there is anything I can do for you. On behalf of the Steemit Greeter's Guild, I invite you to this amazing community we all call Steemit!
Also, I am going to invite you to join the group @greetersguild to connect with other members that share my same interests in helping others grow in positive ways. Our group also offers a plethora of information to new users, as well as references for community based contest events where new members are known to grow exponentially. I myself am hosting one, which I personally believe would be of great benefit to you, if you allow it to :) Please, take a chance to read the contest post, linked below, and please do not hesitate to reach out to me. I'll do anything and everything in my power and abilities to help you understand, learn and of course, grow. I hope you are having a blessed day filled with prosperity and peace!
If you are on discord you can message me there anytime. @LuckyDev#1969 .
