Thank you. I have suffered depressive episodes all my life. And am trying to work through this one without medication. I have the support from a therapist whose help is essential. Your discussion of the use of metaphors was most interesting to me and one I am going to pursue. I am not afraid of this depressive episode like I have in the past, and your discussion has helped me to be brave and determined.
