I should apologize myself for my own late reply now. No harm done.
I think you're being proactive in this.

Making a conscious effort to not let this get you down any more than it naturally will is a huge step in getting past anything, and often the hardest to do.

You should be very proud of yourself.
As unrelated as this is, I have to ask...what type of kittens? I love the little things.
Take care, and I hope you continue to do well.
