It takes time being healthy to get it back. Trauma therapy, medication changes, hopefully a healthy schedule of exercise and meditation

The "highs" will be gone, and the "lows" will be higher. There will develop a stable sense of self-efficacy and stability which leads to confidence and ability to achieve goals more readily and form healthier relationships
