taking antidepressants...I was doing a lot of personal work, but it wasn't until I started ADs that things turned around: I started being able to feel good, and I gained the ability to redirect negative thought patterns
I am glad you got to the latter. This is in no way being critical (in the end, I don't know how important it is how you get to the "feeling good" stage), but I made a concious choice to get there with no drugs, no alcohol, no anything. I went through it organically (and trust me, anti-depresents were a very tempting option at one point).
Granted, I was not married long, and the whole relationship was less than 4 years, so... maybe that makes a difference. Still, I remember it all as 8 months of Hell before I turned around
