This is perilously close to being a humblebrag...

or shaming people who still participate more than the OP, as though everyone's levels of involvement are equally healthy.

Or OP commenting on how they participated in fandom when they were in a bad place, and now they need it less. "I am happy I feel better now" isn't a humblebrag and it sucks to pu OP down that way.

Seconding this so hard.

Yeah. I love fandom, and I’m sure I would even if I was in peak mental, emotional, and physical shape, but it’s something I can still engage in even when my depression is kicking my ass, or I’m ill, or both, so it’s kind of my fallback hobby. When I can barely make it off the couch, I can still read and respond to fics and stuff. When I have spare energy, I can go work in my garden or go for a hike, and when I’m done and I’m too sore to move, I can read fic.

I don’t suddenly hate fandom or other fans, or think I’m better than them, because sometimes I do other stuff. I’m just always glad for the days when I can spare the energy to do other stuff. And I’m glad OP can, too.

you two need serious help if your first instinct is feeling attacked lmao

This.

No. How is feeling mentally better an achievement to boast of? It's just nice for the OP.
/blimey there are some people determined to take offence and attack people for not being 'committed' fans. FIJAGH for some of us you know.
