I did not appreciate this until long after I had been required to go 4+ times a week while I was in a therapeutic residential, but now I sometimes miss the unique support found in group therapy

Leave Somewhat Helpful

Sometimes I think sticking it out could really help me in the long term, but leaving situations that effect me negatively is the fastest way to balance myself.

Time Somewhat Helpful

Breathing Exercises Somewhat Helpful

I just started doing this regularly. I think it defiantly helps to center me but it takes additional effort to clear my mind. I try to do this with positive thinking.

Love Not Working

I would like this too work, but thinking about loving and being loved really comes destructive for me because I can never convince myself that it even exists in my life when i need to belief it the most.

Support from Friends & Family Somewhat Helpful

Support from friends and family really only works when they are willing to just be with me without having to talk. Having people worry about me makes everything worse. It also becomes destructive for me when I begin to rely to much on others.

Forgiveness Somewhat Helpful

In moderation. It seems obvious now in hindsight, the people and things I should have stopped giving forgiveness to a longgg time ago.
