How do you deal with depressive episodes

Im 17 (female) and i got diagnosed with Bipolar last year. I have a series of 2 voices in my head and my depressive episodes are really bad. I'm still trying to learn about what it's like to get older with Bipolar but so far from my own experience I've learned im either so depressed I can't take care of myself or im manic and cleaning like a clean freak. Anyways, as of this year I've had two depressed episodes and both of them I couldn't do anything but cry for my boyfriend (18yro) and be with him 24-7. We usually spend a lot of time together Anyways but right now and in late January it was really bad and I'd have a full melt down anytime he left my house. I don't know how else to distract myself from the horrid gloomy feeling and the voices that are constantly telling me I suck. All I know is my boyfriend helps me and that's it. If anyone has stuff they do to help them when they get depressed, it'd be helpful to hear and try out
