I'm trying to stay optimistic and not say things like "I'm going to be waiting three weeks for nothing to get better". Its just frustrating and hard.

I understand. But your doctor raised your antidepressant. Sometimes it takes a couple weeks to feel a benefit from such a tweak. Of course if you don't, then there is maybe a problem. Also, don't forget that medications alone don't always do the full job. We have to take some small steps to try to fight depression (or whatever the issue in bipolar) with other strategies. Such strategies are ones that a therapist should be teaching. I can say that such strategies have made a difference for me many times over.
