Hey@authorfriendly! I saw your comment on my post and thought I'd stop by and take a sneaky peak at the things you write about and was glad I did. The cat analogy is a perfect example of what I went through during an episode of depression, the reaction was to withdraw into a hole, so I get the point you make.

You may have come across @abigail-dantes, she has an interest in psychology and has written posts on depression and treatments.. I'm sure she'll be interested in your views in this area. Peace.
