Should I get counselling from my GP

I've been through quite alot in the past few years. We left our jobs and a community/faith group we were in 3 years ago and moved back to England as we'd lived abroad for 7 years. I was 38 weeks pregnant with 2 other dd's and we rented a house and somehow managed to survive without any proper jobs as my dh was having to change his whole career.Last year my Dad was diagnosed with canceer and died 6 weeks later and my Mum was very difficult to handle with a history of depression and emotional difficulties. Sadly she suddenly passed away aa few months ago too and sometimes I feel overwhelmed and exhausted. I had a panic attack one day and dh insisted i went to GP. He was actually very sympathetic and suggested returning to discuss counselling. That was before Christmas and now I think i would like to get some but feel like a bit of an idiot and that there obviously is alot more people in need than me. I knmow it would help and it's also what I'm interested in doing as a career when my last dd goes to school and also would like to assess whether Mirena coil has had emotional effect on me too cos get very snappy at times and super sensitive but hard to be objective when had so many stressful things happen. Anway thanks for listening to my ramblings and any thoughts?

Yes go....DEFO GO!
You need to untangle every thing that is muddy in your mind.......
You have got allot of sorting to do and councelling will help you with that.

Why an idiot????

Very legitimate in my opinion, give yourself a break.....councelling is a good option.
