When friend groups evolve at different rates in mental health recovery

My college friends and I used to bond over our shared anxiety and late-night overthinking sessions, but now some of us are in therapy and getting better while others are still struggling, and no one knows how to navigate the friendship when our relationship to our darkness has changed. Are we still the same people who need each other?

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

A friendship built around shared struggle is destabilizing as members heal at different paces, questioning whether connection was based on dysfunction.
