Emotionally, I can now see life in what seems like glorious Technicolor, compared to the drab, grey fog I'd been existing in for the last 20 or 25 years.

Reclaiming one's life from the "cure" intended to reclaim one's life -- I've thought of doing that. I'm not sure I have the courage or energy.

Yes. You need those fish. The fish need you. This is far more important than avoiding a ruminative trigger.
It doesn't matter that I think you deserve some sort of medal for the incident - allowing a lion to eat fish food.
It bothers you. I hope your detailed and entertaining account here brings you some relief.
Your success in managing MDD without recourse to zombification is the greater goal. It's a worthy goal, and I follow your progress with interest.
Thank you for posting! Please continue.
