My mental health has been quite a journey. Have had both private and NHS care. Both good. I'm pretty well these days, but I do have to work at it. In a nutshell, what I needed and what helped: Diagnosis, medication, talking therapy, exercise, meditation, cut out alcohol etc, routine, plenty of sleep, low stress lifestyle, friendship. It requires self-discipline and hard work for me to be well. I'm not complaining though. I love my life now and every day I don't wake up in hospital is a win. Be well friends.
