Dear Diary.
I guess you're wondering what happened to my dad.
Well.... He died last year. It will be a year ago on September 2nd.
He died from Depression. My therapist said it was my dad's death that triggered the onset of my Depression, but because my dad had it then due to the genetics I was already more likely to get it, and she also said that if I was going to develop Depression, then anything would have triggered it.
My dad was my best friend; my mum and I have never got on well and ever since dad died, life has been unbearable.
She's constantly comparing me to my older sister, who has left home for university. Sarah is beautiful: tall, blonde, and curvy in all the right places. In other words, everything I'm not. And boy, my mum never hesitates to remind me of this. At least when dad was alive he could stick up for me - which he often did - but now I have no one.
My mum is one of those people doesn't believe in mental health issues and so I've had to get to and from therapy relying only on the kindness of Amy's mum. Because of this I often stay at Amy's, which is one of the only things keeping me positive.
The only reason I've been able to go to college is because dad left me some money in his Will and said that he wanted it to go towards my education because he always knew that I had "a lot of educational potential to do well in everything" that I choose to do.
I guess that's everything for now. I'm going to Amy's for a few days, so I probably won't write again until I'm back.
