Welcome, Ghostgirl! I'm originally from NJ, too.

I'm sorry you are still struggling, deeply. I will say that a week of some improvement could be a good sign, even if your mood fell again. Sometimes I'd see a little improvement, then dip, then a little longer improvement, dip, repeat until things were more steadily improved. It is likely the time to push your psychiatrist to make an adjustment, or more of one.

Coping tools combined with above always boosted my improvement. Set doable goals to push yourself slightly. Ones that would usually give you pleasure in the past (I call "pursuit of pleasure") or feeling of accomplishment are the best to start.
