hey mmcconathy-- i'm really sorry about all you're going through. i don't know about the xanax, though. i've been on quite a lot of it for over a year, but benzos in general help me more with physical anxiety or else in reigning in really racing thoughts than in helping my mood. i've never taken to therapy myself, so i'm not the best person to suggest it, but if you could find a good therapist with whom you feel comfortable talking about these things, someone who would be on your side without fail, i think that would help. also, maybe an antidepressant or a mood stabilizer-- at best, they can lift your mood and make you more resilient... less positive but maybe also what you need-- they can numb you enough that you just are sort of lost in your own world and indifferent to stuff like the insults you're enduring. i hope everything works out for you.
