Hi Dad,
I'm writing this diary for you. I know you will never be back, but I want to feel like I'm still talking to you as if you were here... Even though you are lying under 5ft of ground.
This diary is about my personal experience with the same killer that took your life: Depression. I know that even though you went through extensive therapy and did a huge amount of research, you never did understand this illness, and I want to help you understand it. I want you to come on this journey with me.
This diary isn't just for you though, and I won't be writing each entry as a letter to you, because that will make it harder for me. I will write it as if I'm writing to a stranger. I would like to give this to my children in the future, so they know exactly how and when to help a victim of Depression, and I hope it will be useful.
Take care up there Dad. I love you.
- Jess

This is not based on my own life. Thankfully my dad is alive and well. I will however be using my own experiences with depression to put across just how awful it is and simply explaining things to try and aid understanding.... So thank you for reading I guess!
