There is nothing wrong if you want to vent out your feelings during tough times. People do suffer from depression but you need to have will power to get out of it.
Like I said focus more on your relationship with Allah you will get out of depression inshaAllah.
I didn't get that you need to commit shirk in order to get married.? Why so?
There are raqis who are doing ruqyah not according to sunnah method. You need to be careful.
I have been to a raaqi in derby, algerian brother... very good...
very effective too... i saw the effects it had on someone I took.
reading certain passages from surah bakarah on a loudspeaker in a enclosed room to see the effects on the subjects behaviour..
what kind of stuff are raaqi's doing that isnt part of the sunnah?

do be careful of raaqi's and i suggest you do visit one if you can't do it yourself... as i mentioned, i have seen the effectiveness of ruqya, if its done properly and sincerely, a genuine diagnosis can be made, which shouldn't be ignored...
in regards to depression... ive been through some tough times, still going through them. it is hard and i do take everyday as it comes...
i take part in sporting activities and some charity work, visiting the sick (for reward and as a reminder that we should be grateful for what we have).... my career and my daily work routine has been my escape... because when im working and not working on my other life related stuff i.e. child contact case at family court or revisiting trauma from my marriage, i can forget about my circumstances for a while... until off course i'm alone again (after work, after prayers, after visiting masjid, after family meal etc).. issue is when i spend too much time alone... the thoughts and me contemplating the past just cant stay away from my thought process... its difficult to get over as im still engaged in some elements of it...
to counter it, i just keep praying, praying for a beatuiful patience and praying for miracles too.... dont ever give up hope... i've seen miracles and im certain miracles can happen again ... insh Allah...
if i was in your shoes and if i thought i was bipolar or had a mental health issue, i would consult a doctor too, they may prescribe medication or enroll you on some kind of group, if you're ok with that then thats fine, me ... i try to avoid medication
also not sure if you are self pitying... i used to engage in that a lot... i have now turned it around by countering it with thoughts of grateful ness, i don't blame anyone, i do blame myself for some mistakes and maybe my circimstances from childhood... its been a rough journey for me.... but Alhamdulillah... it could have been a lot worse....
keep praying sister and do not lose hope.... pray Allah swt guides us to improve our lives and makes us content and lifts any afflictions on us...
Do count your blessings sisters... where would you be without them?
Please remember me and my family in your duas.
Jazakallah Khair...
