Jen, I think you need to have a talk with your therapist and/or doctor about this. It seems to me that you SHOULD be on an antidepressant. I DO believe that therapist will help you, but it does take time. We didn't get this way overnight, and we're not going to be healed overnight either. So it can take quite awhile to feel better in therapy.
In the meantime, I think you need an antidepressant to get you thru the rough times. Now you have to remember that antidepressants take 6 WEEKS to begin working!!  It's too bad that they take so long. The only one I know of that doesn't take that long is Cymbalta --- that took only 2-3 weeks for me, and I began to feel "normal" -- whatever that is. I felt really good -- not high, but not depressed either. Just 'level.' I take it twice a day now because once a day wasn't enough. Anyway, talk to your doc about it -- you could have clinical depression as opposed to environmental, etc. depression.
I'm sorry you're feeling so badly, but you do NOT have to feel like this Jen. And PLEASE don't think about ending it all, because life is GREAT. And it will be for YOU too once things get taken care of.
Keep us posted on what happens. Giod bless and take care. Hugs, Lee
