Hi Suse,
How are you going now? I've only just seen your post. I noticed that Mossiebear also responded and she mentioned about seeing a Counselor. I forgot to mention that when I had my attack of "the sads" and couldn't control my tears or thoughts I saw my GP who in turn referred me to a Psychologist. I went along thinking she can't help me, but in the end I felt so much better by having someone to talk to about my journey. I live on my own and although I have dogs and they are good listeners they don't give much response unfortunately. Have to say that my hands and knees are really causing me problems at the moment, but I'm getting through. Hope you are feeling better.
