Hi @benstrings welcome to Hive. I'm @palomap3 from Lovesniper OCD team.
There is no doubt that you have a deep sensitivity and spirituality. Music is a very powerful tool, and you are right that it helps to heal. I hope to hear you soon, and I would especially like to see you playing the guitar. I learned to play it but gave it up soon after, and I hope to take it up again someday. It is a very complete instrument. You have good mentors, follow their advice and you will do well here. I invite you to explore the communities I link below. You can start with Music Zone and Hive Book Club.
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!
