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?

Oh boy… I’m actually on Hive because of my health. Writing about my condition gives me strength, and the support I receive here means so much to me. You never know who might be dealing with the same challenges and could find comfort in my words. Writing helps me stay calm, it’s where I find my strength. I hope you’re ok! 💪
I'm glad writing gives you some comfort, I find comfort in writing too, but sometimes I just think no one cares, so I mostly try to reduce it. For me I've not met a lot of people who deal with what I deal with, but yes, writing can be therapeutic.
Thanks for your kind words, I wish you well too.
I found myself in your words…It’s not so much about whether others care, but about caring enough to share. Opening up about what you’re going through can make it easier to cope. Sometimes, a few comforting words or helpful advice make a big difference,far more than keeping everything bottled up and feeling lost on your own. I’m truly sorry for what you’re going through, and I hope you find some comfort here on Hive. Some of us really do care…
I think many of us here have our health challenges. You have a had a rough go every since the death of your brother. I'm glad you keep up your posing, you produce great material that I enjoy reading. I was sad to see that person go as well, but you have to take care of yourself first in the end I suppose!

That person seems to be dealing with a lot of mental health issues and I'm sure a lot of in the comment section people didn't really get where it all comes from, except him, probably. It was the inspiration behind this post.
For me, I write because it's already part of me, it's mostly effortless and to be honest it helps me keep the cool
Optimal content ∝ optimal health
Sticking with mobile or going to own a camera someday? There are crazy shots on mobile these days anyway.
Maybe I can own my own camera someday, it's better than mobile and you get to explore better then using a mobile to shoot.
True that
Health issues suck and I think it's just about losing motivation. It's hard to stay consistent and once you break that streak, it's hard to get back into a consistent schedule. Maybe the toll of creating the best content also drains people. So that is why I choose to make content that I want to make rather than cater to what might appeal to the most people.
Well sometimes creating comes easy to some, especially if they're in the best state of mind. For me, I use to create without any form of restriction but nowadays I can't to it like I used to..
I've got a mental condition ( one of the symptoms is Social Anxiety Disorder) that prevents me from contributing constantly to the hive community. It's one I've suffered for over a decade, I take drugs which helps somehow. Despite that I try my best to stay active on the platform, mostly through supporting others with comments plus occasional posts. Though sometimes I take extended breaks to regain my mental wellness.
I took anxiety meds at the beginning of my diagnosis sometimes in November last year, but I think they didn't do anything for me actually. I'm sorry for you as well and I hope you get better overtime for you.
It's sad to see people give up what they love due to their health. Like you said, the mind can't function properly if the body is not in good health.
I totally agree with this.
I do read your post, and I think you're an exceptional writer and content creator.
Should I say I'm a little jealous of how your blog looks 😅,your cover images are so nice!! Going into photography professionally is a great idea.
Well, a lot of people don't understand how health issues can actually affect the mind, I've seen it happen to so many people and that's how I understand how it can bad it can be. For me, it has affected me in many ways and it's saddening
Well for my contents, I think I like yours too. They're some of the best and your posts are natural and the pictures are hardly download and beautiful too.
Oh my God!! Thank you!!🥰, this just made my night ☺️.
It's the question for me, so finally replied me and said a couple of things which I said its in my plans and I'm working towards that just my current space and everything is just so unsettling for me right now, I told him these actions is affecting me psychologically.
This is were the real struggle lies, every Illness and everything thing in life is psychologically related, as a content creator it takes a lot from you to be able to seat tight and craft words in their right context to be able to analyse event and happening to text and be able to help another see it from your own perspective, after all of these some one seats somewhere and wash it all down, deriving joy in doing that....
Well for the mean time I'll keep doing what I love doing, not for the take home
Well sometimes we hate people who don't like us for reasons best known to them, and they'll keep doing what they want no matter how hard we try to change them or change things. Do what's right and try to make changes and leave the rest
Surely .....thanks man

I know a lot happens in life and people react differently to different circumstances, but I hope that I won't ever loose my passion for creating on Hive, even if not so regularly.
I hope so too for you. I think it happens to some people sometimes and we'll there's nothing one can do other then to overcome.
A lot of people with different problems and I quite understand when someone stops posting on Hive due to health challenges. You see, sometimes the body is willing to keep pushing but the mind wouldn't. When health challenges happen, it greatly affects the mind too, only a few would still stay positive and not actually feel their health should be a restriction to what they love doing from the start.
Many people find solace when they pour out their minds through writing, not because they want others to feel for them, it's because they just want to feel light in them and also help encourage someone out there. There are still those who care.
You are a strong guy seriously and if you must know, I do wish you are strongly healthy, free from your illnesses one day. I hope you pick up your interest in photography and do the big work. All the best, Jose.
