I don't know if I can say anything to help, but I think I understand what you're going through. I'm leaving hospital for good in three weeks (day patient at the moment), and I'm not better. I've been on mirtazapine for months, and my psychiatrist sees a big improvement that I'm not feeling. I started going to the hospital last september and hit a low around february, which I'm out of now, but if anything I'm worse than I was when I was first admitted.
According to my psychiatrist it's normal for your mood to fluctuate as it improves over a long period of time. Maybe the last week and a half hasn't been good, but that doesn't mean that you won't continue to improve.
Let your parents know when you're finding things difficult. I felt a lot of pressure from mine to get better and get my life going quicker than I felt able to, but when I eventually talked to them about I found that I'd misunderstood, and they just wanted to support me as much as they could.
Good luck,
Edward
