First of all, it is sad to know what you had been experiencing lately. Based on the history you have shared, it seems as if you have already been through alot as is evident by your medicine history.

You need to have detailed sessions with a motivational psychologist or behaviour modification therapies or group therapies to overcome the stressors that seem to be contributing towards current symptoms.

Also that, indulging into alternative healthy activities like socialising or travelling or hanging out with friends or exploring places or getting into sports or some physical activity may help you with distracting from the social stressors and help you cope with the depression and anxiety in a better way.
