if you can identify what you think will help you can request it.
unfortunately sometimes you can get a not so good cc but its good to tell them that you are not finding them helpful and have a conversation about how they can help you more. sometimes they think they are helping when a conversation about it would clear the air a bit.
If youre unstable I can see why they dont want to do therapy becasue there is some evidence to suggest that you need to be in a good state of mind to take on the responsibility of therapy. that maybe what they are thinking.
to be honest if they know you have bipolar Im really suprised they are treating you with anti depressants. it seem counter productive to me. could you bring up that you may be better on a mood stabiliser?
also meds only help with some symptoms. you may find learning some self management skills for your bipolar helpful. could you buy a self help book and maybe ask your cc or a friend to go through it with you so you can teach yourself some skills and not need the team so much.
but I do think identifying what you want from your team might be a good place to start.
