Can someone help??

Hi everyone, I'm so confused about my mental state, I have no idea where to turn. I was wondering if someone can give me some help to see if what I am going through maybe bipolar disorder. I'm 35 yrs old and have been married 7 yrs. We have 3 kids (b13, g6, g14mos) It seems all my life i've been depressed. I'd be happy for awhile then something would happen to take it all away. Lots of nights I spend praying for God to take me. My husband and family think I'm crazy. In our 7 yrs of marriage we've had health insurance off an on. Right now its off, just ended Oct.31. We were at the time seeing a marriage counseler but had to stop. About 5 yrs ago I did go to one of those county mental health places after I went for a knife during an argument with my husband. They put me on antidepresants, which made me feel like my head was in a cloud. I tried alot of different ones but hated them, so I didn't go back. I just want answers. Answers to questions i've been having since I was a teenager. And I need someone to talk to who understands, my husband tries but he can't. Can someone take me under their wing and help me understand this and see if I can finally get my life together?

Sandy,
BiPolar usually consists of mood swings--from depression to mania (wild spending, feelings of invincibility, excess sexual activity, not sleeping--sometimes for days, hyper jittery, inability to concentrate).
