stressed out and depressed

How do you guys deal with your stress and depression? 
I'm coming off of my surgery pain medicine and last night I just wanted to sleep so I took 2 and drank a little wine and it turned out to be a big mess... I'm going to therapy but I feel like I need extra support and without my mom here where I go to college, and no real friends I just feel alone and sad a lot. Any advice would be helpful :/
