Hi @mariainchaos welcome to Hive. I'm @palomap3 from Lovesniper OCD team.

I felt very identified by what you described about losing that spark that made you feel alive. But reading how you express yourself it seems to me that it has not abandoned you, you continue to write well and I hope you feel comfortable here to let yourself go. Since you don't tell us what else you like to do, I invite you to explore the communities that I link below and look in them for those most in line with your interests. Follow your friend's recommendations and 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!
