If this *was* yr experience dj, it sounds v much to me (tho I'm not implying it *is*) like yr std remission from depression. Most depressions will remit with time, & it can come about quite suddenly.
Let me explain. When SSRIs brought about euthymia in me for the 1st time in my life, it was a truly revelatory experience. For the 1st time in my life I felt positive emotion & could see the way ahead clearly. It was an awakening of sorts; an emotional one. However it was the remission of the depression that conferred upon me this awakening, & not the other way round as you have implied in this, & many previous posts.
Just my opinion tho', based upon my experience, & those of the many mentally-ill people I have come to know over the yrs.
