Keep reaching out to good people and just be honest with them. It is hard to do it without feeling embarrassed, but the shame passes and it feels wonderful to find the help we all need.
On a very practical note, it sounds like you have *a lot* of details and practical issues to juggle right now. Take a few moments and write down everything that needs to be done. Then decide what has to be done first, second, etc. Each morning, pick up the list and do the next thing that needs to be done.
Definitely tell T as soon as possible. These are major life events, and that's what T's are for. 
My thoughts are with you, Simcha. One small step at a time.

That's true Owl----a lot to deal with. I finally managed to shower today (late afternoon, but at least I finally showered). Part of my problem with contacting my T is that unless I have some sort of an emergency (like say I feel suicidal or something), that he can't help me from afar. I could be very wrong, but I don't really know how to help him help me. I have much difficulty in relaying the problems I am having in a concise manner, which leads people to believe something far different than what I am experiencing. Perhaps because I have usually been very together while the others around me were crumbling...I feel like, Damn it Sam, get your ARSE together and DO what you NEED to DO. But... I'm depressed. I guess it takes a lot of energy away from what I need to do.
