I don't know your age but often some people have less hypo/manic episodes per my T as they get older So they stay more stuck in the depressive end of Bipolar.
If you have been on the same medication and your not getting any kind of relief then it would be a good idea to have a talk with your Pdoc and T to try and identify any chronic situations that cause you distress. Could be possible that coping skills need to be dusted off and used or new ones learned. When I am in the dark end of Bipolar I am kind of shocked when my T helps point out that I have slacked on coping skills XYZ.
Maybe you need a tweak in medication dose or an all together change in medication.
I hope you find some kind of relief soon
