Why am I randomly getting 500 status when I was just getting 201s on a simple GET & POST

I am making a simple API for a blog site that I am making for fun. I have my backend logic setup and it looks good. i was even able to post a couple of entries into my DB but I was never able to successfully execute a GET request to the same route (500 Server Error)…Then I closed down my server (localhost:3000) and started it back up and now I am getting the same error for my POST request which was previously successful. I don’t know what to do, please help.

Here is an example of my error message and below that I will post a my get and post code:

HTTP/1.1 500 Internal Server Error
