I have... issues.. of my own. I won't get into them here (you can PM me if you want and I'll explain more), but I DO understand.

One thing that helped me is to try to focus your energy into something positive. I used to write poetry. I've got an entire binder dedicated to my poetry - most wasn't very happy, but it helped me feel like a person again. I know you can't work, but are you able to maybe volunteer for a few hours a week somewhere to do something good for the community? How about going on meetup.com and finding a group you might find an interest in like a married womans group to make some friends. Take up a crafty hobby like scrapbooking or something. Just try to divert your attention from what you don't have into what you DO have. It takes a lot of work to be happy again, but it can happen.

About the meds - if your meds are working for you now, how about getting them from your primary care doc instead? I get mine through mine instead of going to a pyschiatrist cause of multiple reasons and I'm doing just fine.
