What's your day to day life like? Do you have a routine? Do you exercise, within your capability, at all?
As opposed to the top comment here I found that actually listening to the things people say I 'should' do and doing them actually does help. Duh. I felt like an idiot when I started doing those things and feeling better, but that's OK. I've been wrong before and I'll be wrong again. I'm in a similar boat to you and still have things to work on but feel great about life at the moment which can be an overwhelming feeling. It's strange.
What I'd say is work on small things. Routine wise wake up at the same time every day. I'm no scientist but from the studies on the circadian rhythm etc everything shows this will help. Going to bed at a similar time or the same time every night will help but as I said let's start small. Get one thing right and your taking a great step. Ideally a 'normal' time aswell, reasonably similar to what everyone else does. Will put you in a position to do things with others, get a 'normal' job shift wise.
Eat regularly, again something I still struggle with to this day, but it's better recently.
And lastly exercise is wonderful. Now I not going to say go to the gym. Oh geez you won't find me there! But again start small. Can you do one exercise? For one body part. Don't worry about these work out plans, or mega challenges. Start with one exercise, sit ups/push ups/ bicep Curls if you or your husband have weights laying around. Anything. Something you can do to get your blood pumping a little bit. That you can stick to, and make and see progress. This all worked for me though I still have issues waking at the same time. I'm working on it!
