CBT has helped a lot. I did a 6 week IOP after the hospital and learned a ton. My current therapist is great and she's helping me process the trauma I experienced.
I'm glad you mentioned journaling. I keep one daily and track my activities, sleep, moods, diet, exercise, etc. I really hope it will help me notice of things get off track again.
You sound like you are doing well too. Thanks again for all of your kind words of encouragement. Edit to add... I love your Yoda quote. I use it all the time!
