Hi, Englishteacher!
Someone very recently, either in this forum or one of the others, suggested finding a depression or bipolar support group meeting in your area. They could provide some sort of support and be a great "treatment networking" resource.
Here are sites related to the Depression and Bipolar Support Alliance (DBSA):
