@Rover, I hate when they say "stay strong" or "you have to be strong". To me it's the ultimate professional copout! Your GP and counsellor need a good swift kick as far as I'm concerned.
What they should be telling you is how to look after yourself. They should also be telling you that it's okay to be weak sometimes. It's okay to feel fragile. It's okay to accept that we have limitations; we're not medical people - psychiatrists or psychologists; we're not super-beings and most of all we're not superfluous.
Sorry, I'll get off my high horse now.
