WOW. That is big. Are you ready for that big step--finding your father? I'm sure it is such a hard process to go through.
Maybe you should think about finishing your work for the semester before deciding wether to go through with trying to meet your father? Have you discussed this with your therapist? Do you have anyone else in your family/friends, etc. who can help you with the decision?
As for fantasizing about wrecking the car, if you are close to acting on that, please please tell your therapist. And if you think you will be unsafe driving, please, don't drive.
You must be feeling really badly to have that thought. I had the car-wreck thoughts in the past, too.
But I don't have those thoughts anymore, and I want to tell you that I'm glad I never acted on those thoughts (or similar ones). Depression CAN get better. Really. It can.
Take care.
