So I had cognitive behavioral therapy...it was part of a research study and every psych and trainee tht I encountered was incredibly positive about me and my recovery. That helped me immensely and the cbt helped me get rid of some false beliefs I had about being stupid etc. While what I had targeted psychosis we also talked about anxiety etc. so I highly recommend cbt for self esteem issues.

The second thing is just getting out again...what kinds of things do you want to talk to your friends about? If you goto concerts museums trips etc it helps get you out of the house but also gives you something to talk about. Wishing you a speedy recovery, glad you're feeling great!
