I'm so sorry. A cold, resentful spouse, overload at work -- it's enough to overwhelm anyone. Are there people at work who can help with your other project while you focus on presenting? I was sent to present at conference after conference at work, and I finally told my boss that while I appreciated her confidence in me, it was not my forte and made me very anxious. She really understood and now asks only sparingly and is OK with me turning it down.
Maybe you could excuse yourself from the schmoozing with the legitimate excuse that you have a cold and don't want to spread it?
Has this brought to the surface for you that when things settle, you might want to look for a new therapist? With all that you are going through right now, it could be a good thing even if it's short-term.
Please take care of yourself.
