Psychotherapy and Self-Development. Since I've started therapy, I've learned many tricks and hacks how to deal with my depressed phases. I had many relapses but my therapist has always believed in my recovery. Self-Development is in my opinion pretty important to pursue your recovery, otherwise the relapses will pile up. I'm reading a lot about self care and balancing mental health and life and even tho it's super though and exhausting sometimes I don't regret any second of recovery right now! :)

Regular benzos are helping. I know, it sounds counter-productive. But it allows me to sleep regulary every night. Helps somewhat. This site ranks high up there too as a recovery tool. Seriously. It lowers my anxiety to know I can come here and find people in similar situations and express how I feel. I don't have a "social circle" so you guys are it. Whatever helps is good.
Medication and cognitive behavioral therapy helped me to a degree that I can function in my day to day life.
There is however a point beyond which nothing helps.
Being listened to by an empathic and non-opinionated therapist, together with daily journaling. It took me years and thousands of pages to unravel my Gordian knot of dysfunction, but I did, and that took care of all but that one unforgiving thing: time.
