What Would You Do If You Wouldn't Be Depressed?

[A guy]

If wishes were horses, beggars would ride.

Some beggars became millionaires because of their dreams.

I would fall in love...I've been in love before and vaguely remember the warm, happy feeling I had before depression took over and left me numb and in pain and incapable to feel romantic love. I've been single for a very long time so it's been a while and I do feel love, I have an 11-year-old son and I love my family and my dog, but I'm talking about the gut-wrenching, palm-sweating, heart-throbbing love that leaves you feeling giddy with happiness and just waiting til you can see that special someone again. I believe if I could crawl out from under this cloud, meet the right person, I could fall in love again...but right now it seems impossible.

I wouldn't be stumbling over my self confidence issues, and maybe my dream of having a family would have happened much sooner then what it will take now. Then I could help people out more. I could offer more of my time to them, and help them out when they need it. I could also fall in love again. Something that I longed for. To truly love someone is something I cannot begin to explain with words. I miss the feeling. I miss doing things for the other person. I miss making them smile, rough housing, and most importantly, just cuddling. But right now its just a fantasy until i get my life back in order and seek to proper professional help. I also want to become a father so bad, it has been my career choice since high school. Being a father is something I desire to become, but like I said, its not something in my probable future. I have a lot of things I need to fix before something like that will ever happen.

Maybe I'm dim or a little obtuse, but I really have no clue as to how to answer that question.
