I'm sorry. I'm reaching that point myself, so I understand all the complex feelings of not being able to do what you fully expect yourself to somehow pull off because somehow you always did.
It must be scary to be out of a job, but will it be better for you in the long run to be in a better environment for you? While I agree that twice a week therapy has a continuity that once a week lacks, and that help you work on more difficult issues, if you can't manage it you can't. I'm sure there are things you can do with your therapist to spread your therapy out over the week and bring continuity to it. Journaling or homework assignments maybe?
I think it's great that you've committed to working through your difficulties and not running away. That in itself is a big step. Is the working through in therapy what caused you to be destabilized to this point? Is there any way to cushion it any so that you can do what you need to do, workwise?
