I've had mental illness for years and now its much better. I was in a terrible car accident, I survived. I have been very lonely, now I feel better. How do I thank Hashem for all His kindness to me? Should I take on a specific mitzvah, if so which one? Any guidance would be great!!!

Say some tehillim each day. Thank Hashem verbally in your own language each day for each of the chassodim that he did and constantly does for you.
If you are able to take another mitzvah upon yourself then go ahead. But make sure that it's doable and sustainable!
Kol Hakavod!

Give a generous donation to a worthy cause, perhaps something related to the challenges you overcame (e.g. Hatzalah, an org that helps the mentally ill and their families, suicide prevention, shalom task force), and enclose a note with the check stating that this is in gratitude to Hashem for His support. or put an ad in your shul or yeshiva's journal stating 'in Gratitude to Hashem for His support' instead of the usual 'in Honor of the Hashkama Minyan' or 'With thanks to Rabbi Gottesman.'

When you wake up in the morning and say Modeh Ani say it as if you really mean it. When you say Modim in Shmoneh Esrei, that's a good time to add personal thanks and have in mind anything you're grateful for.

In addition to the above, consider if there's ever an appropriate venue to share your story in more detail, even anonymously. That's how Aharon Margolis came to write "As Long As I Live" and speak a lot about his life and challenges, helping a lot of people.

Amazing! Maybe we should have a thread to share our gratitude. I’ve also experienced some recent miracles. Following!

Me too! I was just thinking this today. I’m 8 weeks pregnant and passed enough blood clots today for several miscarriages and Bh was told at my ultrasound that the baby looks perfectly fine! My mother always taught me that when you get good medical results you need to thank Hashem by doing something good for Him. Usually that means I make extra special food for Shabbos! I like the ideas in this thread!
