Starting My Mental Health Recovery Journey

I had lost 2 friends about 2 weeks ago during an emotional break down, and that has led me to realize how bad my mental health was actually. I want to get started on the journey of mental health recovery, but I don’t know where to start. Anyone have any pointers?

Definitely look into finding a therapist. I have used Psychology Today and you can filter what you’re looking for and even the insurance they accept. Therapist before MD in my opinion. If you need meds make sure to see an actual psychiatrist because they (very likely) know more than your PCP. You got this!

Start by finding a therapist you can actually talk to unless you feel comfortable bringing your concerns up with your dr and they will probably recommend somewhere for you, or some medication. I started with a therapist though.
