Please don't wait for the next session. Do something now; you will feel better for just having made the effort. I know how that time waiting can seem to drag on forever when a call could make all the difference.
Sounds like your wellbutrin is causing you added trouble. The ups and downs shouldn't be happening so much if the drug works properly.
I want so badly to offer you support, but I'm not quite sure what to say. Except that I've been there. Trying to deal with the past, like you are at the moment, can take up every waking moment. Sometimes you just have to give into it so you can deal with it and move on. Other times, you have to keep moving on w/your life so that the past recedes a bit during your day and doesn't consume you.
I don't know where you are in the process; only you know that answer. Personally, I was so depressed once while I was agonizing terribly over my past, etc., and I decided to take a break from life to deal with it. Actually, I had no choice. I was that sick.
But I'm so much better now. I've made quantum leaps over the last several months, so while my husband was angry as hell that I wasn't working, I was working; I was working on myself.
When the past consumes you, you have no energy for anything else. I guess that's called depression.
So decide what it is that you can handle--whether it's getting outside of your head and taking classes or going on those interviews, or just deciding to work on your issues. You're the only one who knows.
But if it's fear that's stopping you, that's a whole other post! Let me know, OK?
