Hey, I hear you on the frustration Smrrfette, I hate that feeling :(. Maybe try switching things up for a bit, don't focus so much on improvement, but try new things - and just have fun.
On the flip side of that though you can do Focused studies - They seem to help me with frustration about my speed of improvement.
I'll try and choose one specific thing I feel I really need to improve on (hands, heads, noses...etc) and I'll do pages full of studies from books, photos, and a good mix of imagination app - and It usually doesn't take too long until I start seeing/feeling improvement however many in, it's really refreshing.
Last but not least going for a walk always helps me cool down from frustration.
I hope you can shake that feeling, your pencil stuff you've been posting is really awesome. Keep plowing away! :)
