My depression and panic kicked off a little over three years ago when I was rejected from this group that I belonged to. Even after all of this time, I think about the people in the group and the relationships and opportunities that I lost hundreds and hundreds of times a day. I wake up thinking about it every morning. I have tried five different medications and zoloft has helped with the panic, but that's all. I can't seem to let go of this past rejection.
I go to regular psychotherapy--twice a week--just added a third with a second therapist, psychiatrist once a month. I've tried CBT workbooks, meditation and mindfulness, yoga, acupuncture, aromatherapy, reiki and biofeedback and I'm still haunted by these obsessive thoughts for most of the day. They are worst in the morning and sometimes shut off in the afternoon--other times, like today, the go all day with no relief.
Has anyone experienced this, and do you have any suggestions for what worked for you?
