What helps me when I'm feeling low and lost and in particular panicked about the future (which is often!) is to just let myself BE. Just stay in the moment and find something that I enjoy doing. Don't let myself THINK about "omg what am I going to do?", just think of now, this moment. I've started reading again lately and it's like... an escape. I go into this other world, live somebody else's life. It gives me energy and inspires me too, sometimes.
It's good to think of a future, but when you don't feel like there IS one right now I find distraction works. Negative thoughts can be a constant chatter, just shutting it off for a little while could help.
Oh, I've also started to watch tv more in the evenings -there are now a few series that I follow and it gives me something to look forward to each night.

It's good that you have a T session coming up, just hang on in there, keep coming to psych central if you can and sharing with us. It somehow helps me to read through other people's problems.
