Tina-
Sorry about your predicament. My unofficial opinion is that you need a mood stabalizer and maybe some benzos to get you through the worst of it. Seroquel is an anti-psychotic, but it helped me a great deal and let me sleep.
I don't recommend Depakote except maybe at very lose doses. I was taking quite a lot of Depakote (as prescribed) and turned into a zombie with 6 months.
The little neurotransmitters in your brain are not working correctly and you need a pdoc to help you with that. Be very honest, start at low doses and be prepared to switch medications several times, as the first stuff often - hell maybe even almost never - works quickly and well. But don't give up until you have the quality of life that you want and deserve.
