What Helped You With Your Recovery.

[SWM]

I am interested to know if anybody has recovered from a mental health problem and what people feel has helped most in their recovery.

I was diagnosed with schizophrenia almost ten years ago, the different medications that I was given had little to nil effect on my symptoms.

Looking back I feel what helped me the most was finding spiritual purpose to my life and getting back in to college to further my education. 

without these new directions to my life I beleive I would be still struggling, caught up in the mental health system.

I am really intersted to know what has helped other people improve their lives and recover from ill health.
