Dark clouds blown away

My depression has lifted to a large degree, like a dark menacing cloud suddenly blown away by a merciful gust of life-giving wind. I quess what trigerred my salvation was the acceptance of a new role (i.e. slave), strong and consistent support from my lovely wife and the completion of several task (one step at a time). Still sad and bogged down by unmet desires and a feeling of facing a series of impossible demands but I am able to move forward again - it's like you were driving with your hand brakes on and then when you realize what has happened, released the brakes, and now you enjoy the release it brings. My emotional hand brakes has been released temporarily and I am relieved.
