Sorry to hear of your struggle.
If you ever decide to try something completely different, here are my suggestions:1. Look for David Reynold's "Handbook for Constructive Living" for an approach to mental and emotional suffering not usually found in Western psychotherapy. http://boat.zero.ad.jp/~zbe85163/
2. Contact the REI Institute (www.reiinstitute.com) for Rhythmic Entrainment Intervention (REI). They will put together custom recordings for you for $495.00. (If that sounds expensive, consider all the drugs and doctor/therapist visits you or your insurance company have paid for etc.)
3. One of my favorite "outside the box" approaches:
*Find some music with great rhythms--whatever your favorite rhythmic music is that you can play for a long time or over and over. I find African rhythms best, but use whatever floats your boat and makes it impossible for you to sit still.
*Let the music work you into a frenzy of automatic movement for as long as you can go. Don't plan the movement or be concerned if it looks like dancing. Go until you sweat and get exhausted. If you get a burst of energy, get back up until exhausted again. Go all day or all night if you can; again, go until you are exhausted. How long that takes will vary for each person, of course.
*If you're physically disabled in some way, then move what you can until tired out.
All my best.
