Have you thought about trying an SSRI? I use pristiq and its working so far. The one thing I noticed for me with all anti-depressants were that they made me lethargic. Is your divorce recent? if so, remember that you are going through the 2 most stressful event in life, next to someone close to you dying.

This is easier said than done, but be kind to yourself. When you find yourself dwelling on those negative thoughts, immediately say outloud "stop" and focus on something else. Your thoughts will help to dictate your mood and to a certain degree your reality. If you focus on the bad that is all you will be able to see.

I still struggle with anxiety and some depression. I'm sorry to hear about the abuse you went through, but you survived and your stronger for it. Keep your head up.
