Diary of Depression

These "Diary of Depression" photos were taken during a time when my wife was suffering from chronic depression. She was writing a memoir "Grief Girl" (Random House, 2007) about her parents being killed when she was 14, and to her surprise, it sent her into a downward spiral. * The handwritten words are copied from my journal.

In the Grief Girl: A Writer's Journey photo essay.

    This is really amazing. Great work. The words written on it made me want to cry... I've been in a similar (depressed/ suicidal) place before. I hope your wife is doing much better.

    Thank you, Adam, for posting this Journey, I know how your wife feels and sadly I know how my husband suffers from my problems...Please hold her tight as I know how important it is to feel we are still wanted, it helps alot even though you might not think so. Thanks alot again, it helped me not feel lonely in these times of our lives.
