Great post!!! I love reading what others have to say and not feeling so alone. Wow where was this thread about 5 hours ago when I was in that place. Here are some of the things I am learning and trying to apply to my life.

I have been reading and listening to Pema Chodron a Buddist nun. She has this great history and was married and divorced before she started practicing. I have found it really helpful and recently found a meditation center in my area from her website. So when I can that is helpful.

Exercise of any type is really helpful as well as breathing. I try to start simple with breathing in "blue light" and exhaling "red light", about 5 times. Sounds corney but it's another tool that I am trying. Again, this is all like a new muscle to me which I am trying to strengthen. My approach has always been to go for the meds, but these techniques are better and given my goal is to change some things in my life I like knowing that I don't have to rely on meds.
