About this ebook
My therapist wants me to write a diary to help me manage my depression. I have no idea how it'll work, but I didn't have the energy to argue with her.
All I want is for life to go back to the way it was before I walked in on Christopher and Jason. Or maybe not because I don't think I'll ever be able to forgive Christopher for cheating on me in our bed, but I want to function as I did before that moment. Before I lost everything.
Do you remember Lars Olsen from school? I do my best to stay away, but it's like he's magnetic and pulls me in every time I see him. I shouldn't be dating. I don't want to force my crazy on anyone, but he's asked me to dinner. He deserves a sane partner, so it would be unfair to go, wouldn't it?

Dear Diary
By Holly Day
Thursday, September 8th
Dear Diary,
The therapist is a cunt, and I spent $9.95 on you. There was one journal for $8.95, but it had flowers on the cover. I’m not a flower kind of guy, or maybe I am, but it was red. I’m not a red diary kind of guy.
Okay, here goes. According to the cunt, I’m depressed. Surprise, surprise. It doesn’t mean I’m insane, it’s only my brain screaming for a timeout. It looked like she believed herself when she was talking. I know better. I’ve gone insane. Christopher has turned me into a crazy person.
Dramatic? I hate that the voice in my head sounds like Christopher.
Okay, so I’m depressed—is it like being an alcoholic and saying it out loud is part of accepting it will make it easier to get over? It doesn’t matter. Since I’m depressed, I have to write three positive things every day. Homework from a therapist. Can life get any worse?
It can. I know. You don’t have to inform me.
1. My breakfast coffee was okay.
2. My lunch coffee was okay.
3. My walking-home-from-work caramel latte was okay.
