If you only had one treatment for your mental illness what do you think that would be? What would it consist of? Would it be something that you have to do every day? Two/Three times a day? Every week? Every month?
Is it repetitive? Or does it change every time you use it? Is it for the short term or long term? Is it something that you do alone, or is it something that happens in a group? Is it in a class? Or, is it something that you must do on your own?
I have a suggestion...if I only had one thing that I could do for my treatment, it would be practicing Emotional Intelligence. I would immerse myself within the vocabulary of as many emotions that I can find. Learn their definitions. Learn if the emotion is positive or negative.
Learn whether they are a core emotion, a primary emotion, a secondary emotion, or a tertiary emotion. I would learn how to identify, more accurately, the emotions that I am feeling- either myself or others.
I would learn how to parry negative emotions thrown my way, changing them to positive emotions where they neutralize the negativity, keeping me free from emotional abuse.
I must help myself, before I help others, but if practicing the definitions with a buddy helps, well, yes do that.
Good luck, and remember, stability and understanding take time.
