Returning to efficiency

All I want to do is get back to a positive outlook on life which allows for criticism without retracting into self hatred. I have a super lifestyle with a supportive husband and caring friends. During the day when I am alone I retreat into rumination self blame and a sense that everyone is having a better time than me. Not constructive. Today I have written a list so I am going to carry it out. I am currently taking 225 mg Venlafaxine and hope that my mood will lift.
