Bekka, I've had no luck at all. When I was ruminating on my last failed relationship, I asked my pdoc what was best for it, med wise.
She said SSRI's...I was on 80mg of Celexa at the time!! haha
Cognitive stuff will work for about 15 minutes with me. Then I get obsessive about doing that right.
If you can manage to try to meditate some, I think it can be helpful. Journaling helps me more than most anything. When you wake up, grab a pad and write down the thoughts already starting to spin for the day. Write about 15 minutes or more if you feel like it and have time.
I guess to get better we must somehow learn to live in the moment, consciously trying to focus on what's in front of us that moment.
There's a book called Peace is Every Step that's helped me. I guess you could paste the link in your browser or just go to Amazon above and key in title. I really like the book.Good luck,
