How you have stayed sane with all the losses in your life is nothing short of a miracle. I am really humbled by the grief you must live with daily and am so sorry for your pain.
I do not believe you have become bipolar. What I DO believe is that you need to find yourself a new therapist. You don't say how long you've been seeing her, but if all she tells you is "it's JUST anxiety and depression," and puts you on 5mg of Lexapro, sorry, but in my humble opinion, she's a complete quack!
Please get a second opinion and begin getting the type of help you really need.
Peace
