Depression - loosing confidence..and hope

It has taken me ages to get the courage to write this.
I am recovering from almost a year of severe depression and voices and visions. I have been diagnosed with bdp, ptsd, depression and fibromyalgia. I see and hear things that aren't there some times, but am well managed with anti depressants and anti physcotics. All my diagnoses have been in the past 6-8 months. I am currently increasing my anti depressants for fibromyalgia pain so feel a bit wobbly anyway.
I have one dd, aged 7. I have been a single mum for a long time. My ex partner, dd' s Dad, died in a house fire a few months ago.
I am really struggling with my confidence; I don't go out, talk to any one, just stay in ad do housework. I have a degree but haven't been able to work since I finished it, as I got ill just after. I can't even bear to hear myself talk. I just want to hide away. I make plans to do things, but then put them off. I feel really worn down and worthless. Have others done anything that's helped with their confidence and mental health issues? I'd appreciate any advice.

Have you been offered therapy for BPD?

My psychiatrist has my diagnosis under review, but says she has no reason to disagree with the bpd diagnosis I was given some years ago. I haven't been offered anything, cream, my cpn is very apathetic. I have asked for a referral to psychology now, but she says there is a very long wait in my area.
