Portia, do you think you need treatment for the depression? I can't remember if you are seeing a counselor. I know how awful it is. I think, however, I felt depressed off and on until about a month ago...Seemed like I needed to feel it before I was able to really embrace that Smokey is gone, gone and may never return. Really EMBRACE it. Then, I let it out and cried. Still have some tears hear and there.
