Ha! JUST couple days ago we talked in therapy about me not being depressed anymore, and now I've had one of the deepest "slumps" I've had in ages.
But as a sign how much better I am than I used to, now I know it's likely a reaction to something (probably a combination of being out of my own home and routines for two weeks and being an extra on TV-show shoot yesterday, which while fun was also draining) and that it won't last. It'll probably last a day, maybe two or three even if it's particularly bad, but it won't last for forever and it's not automatically a sign of relapse.
Cats certainly have noticed I have a bad day. The clingier one is SUPER clingy and the more introverted one has stayed close the entire day too, even tried to break through a door when I closed myself in the bedroom.
This is Pablo, one of the cats at the rescue I volunteer at. Very little is known about his history but he is very shy and unpredictable, previously there has been quite a lot of hissing and growling, last week he hid the whole time I sat with him. Yesterday not only did he let me pet him, he was purring! He's making such good progress, I'm so proud
