Hey there,
First of all, don't worry about rambling. It's healthy to get out your thoughts and feelings, especially for us with social anxiety, who spend so much effort keeping everything from the outside world as it is. So please keep talking, there are people here to listen.
Don't know too much about CBT- I just started it myself recently. Medication-wise, all I can suggest is that if all those standard drugs didn't work (which I can sympathize with), maybe you could get a little creative, do some research and approach your doc with a new idea. Personally, I've been on an MAOI for a couple of weeks now, and it's been incredible for the depression and *especially* the mental fog that goes with SA. Unfortunately, the SA is still there, but I'm going to try Klonopin, I think, soon. Just some ideas- maybe they can be of use to you.
Good luck, though.
