post-traumatic stress and OCD

Question:

Anyone have any experience with obsessional thinking about a trauma and how to rechannel your thoughts? My mental rut has to do with quitting a job, going from semi-depressed to suicidally depressed, and landing in a hospital. At that point, the events that precipitated the collapse kept playing over and over in my brain like a car crash. I’ve improved a lot since then, but I still fight these internal voices. Mornings are especially hard until I make human contact. The most pernicious voice is "you just don’t fucking quit." Driving brings out this message and others the most, to the point where I’m yelling "shut up, shut up, shut up" at myself. Fortunately, my former employer has been understanding about the depression that contributed to my quitting and values my skills enough to want me back when the next opening develops, sometime between May and August. I also have a good, committed therapist, and I’m taking 150 mg of Anafril, soon to be increased. But what I’m really looking for are suggestions on any ways to neutralize or this flow of useless, unwanted  thoughts. Can anybody think of any tricks? (I was thinking of trying Spanish language tapes.) I don’t have any compulsions, so I think the best way to characterize me from the literature is a "pure obsessional." Thanks for listening. Will
