@Blue_Bird - I am so sorry you are still sick. Can you go to an urgent care or your regular doctor? Sometimes sinus infections that drag on can be caused by bacteria instead of a virus, and a course of antibiotics can help you get over it. Or your COVID test could have given you a false negative?
@June08 - It sounds like you may have a mixed episode? I am so glad your pdoc can get you in earlier. It sounds like you are really struggling  Kudos on being so productive despite everything.
@Scooter9 - Sorry you are having such a hard time. Can you see your pdoc sooner? Have you ever tried a SAD lamp for depression? I got one for around $30 on Amazon. It may sound crazy, but a SAD lamp actually started to help me within the first week of using it (approx. 1 hr daily). Of course, others with bipolar have negative experiences on it, but before I tried it, I had some of the worst depression ever, SI thoughts all the time (pretty much constantly daily), thoughts of "oh, I should just take a few handfuls of these different pills, see what happens" thoughts involving wishes about guns (which we do not own for that very reason), etc. It couldn't get much worse. I hope you find something to help with your situation, it sounds pretty terrible.
