I recently saw a post in which someone mentioned quitting Hive due to a health condition. This is not the first time I have seen a post like this.
On Hive, I have seen people write about their health and how it has impacted their desire to create. Some months ago, #abh124345 discussed his battles with hydronephrosis and stage IV kidney disease.
Another creator discussed Lyme disease, another discussed Lupus, and I recently saw one long-term creator who has struggled with mental illness and comes from a war-torn country.
Over the years, I have seen and read about other people's struggles; I knew I had my own, but I was still asymptomatic, so this became my cover. Living with the belief that illnesses do not exist is one method of coping with them.
We want to eat the foods we used to eat, talk to the people we used to talk to, and simply live our lives. Most of the time, it works perfectly until you are no longer in remission and have developed symptoms of your condition. I have also been discussing my own health complications for the past year, and I have only recently stopped doing so.
The reason for this is that it completely took control of everything, including my ability to function, think, and use my brain to its full potential. I found it difficult to solve simple life problems without becoming sentimental. Solving logical problems became difficult, and I lost focus on working hard to improve my financial situation.
Being unhealthy is a mental illness in its own right.
Health conditions are stressful, and they often reduce your vigour and overall outlook on life, affecting your productivity. There are people who have lost their jobs because they are unable to work as much as they used to; it is like a spiral; you try to stay positive, you try to get out of it, but something is broken and you can not fix it on your own.
For the mind to function properly, the physical body must be in good health; however, being unwell has a variety of effects on the mind, which is why chronic physical conditions can have an impact on the overall well-being of the mind.
Everything about us is interconnected, just as the biological connection helps a man function properly.
Many people underestimate mental illness or even mock those who suffer from it; it is not that they do not want to be empathetic; it is just that they do not understand how a health condition can cause a mental illness.
Over the years, I have seen many people lose their creative flair, and it feels as if it was never a part of them. Over the years, I have made a lot of plans to better myself creatively, and since I stopped working 9 to 5 due to chronic stress, I have been actively involved in a lot to improve my finances, but after my brother died, I spiraled really hard, away from some of the most important events in my life, and this has even affected other things like Hive.
It is not that I have stopped creating, but there is always this inability to reach that proper crescendo, and I know deep down that I may not be able to create as well as I once did.
I have shared some of the photos I have taken over the years, and my desire to use some of my original photos has inspired other creators to use some of their own. Photography is my passion, and I hope to someday become a full-time photographer and share this type of content on Hive.
So, even if I have lost touch as a creator, I know that if I can find it within myself, I will be able to do better someday.
So, why did you stop being a passionate creator on Hive?
