How did you get over a depression period?

My question is to people who have overcome or have periodic heavy depression swings that last for weeks to months.

I have been in a low mood for the past four months going on five. I’ve never really been this depressed for such an extent of time, and so heavily. It started when I had a panic attack, quit my job, my license got suspended for missing a court date relating to insurance, getting stuck at my house for a couple months, and now being unemployed. My debt is mounting and I have no income.

I’m 18 years old and my father has manic bipolar disorder. My psychologist does not want to diagnose me this early but I think there is a good chance that I have the disorder. Right now I am prescribed to Effexor 225mg and Depakote 1000mg.

I have body pains, exhaustion, no energy, stomach aches, etc. But I am thin, fit, and young. My diet is pretty good and I drink lots of water and take vitamins with krill oil. It feels like I have some sort of nasty fluid in my body that has contaminated my being.

I’m just wondering if it is normal to feel so low in life. Each month ******* seems like more of an option. If there is a God it truthfully feels like he is making nothing work in my life, like I am being punished for something.

Please help, its hard to even stand living moment by moment. I just want it all to end so badly.
