Well, I'm no huge fan of psychotropic medications, but I think that short term an SSRI like Luvox might work wonders. It took away the obsessions and worries enough for me to work on my ways of thinking and relating in therapy. At any rate you might bring it up with your therapist and see what he thinks. Of course, ruminating is also a part of depression, but it does sound like you may have an anxiety disorder of some sort, OCD or generalized anxiety disorder. Meds give you the stable base you need to work on things in therapy instead of just spinning your wheels in an endless obsessive loop. I don't take them any more, and my therapist helps me gently untangle the loop myself. But I needed them for a while.
