Bipolar benefit, but husband working

I'm very confused as to whether I'm entitled to any benefit as I have bipolar and I'm on lots of meds, but my husband is self employed. We have 2 children living at home, I recently pulled of a degree due to my mental health and the easy way of explaining it is " each day I don't know if I'm going to be tigger or eeyore" I apply for so many jobs but have now given up as I seem to be unemployable due to the fact that I have to love each day as it comes, some days ( out of 7. ) I probably only barely function. I'm ruled by my mental health . .. Am I entitled to anything? It's so distracting not being able to have/ provide my own contribution to the family ......

possibly ESA contribution based if you were working and paying NI contributions in the tax years 11/12 and 12/13
the only other thing would be to look at PIP but that will depend on your care and mobility needs0
