I interviewed the family and friends of my boyfriend at the time, who was clinically depressed. From each person, I asked for a good memory of my bf and why they loved him. <br /><br />I wrote each memory on a separate piece of paper and put all of the papers into a memory box. That way, whenever he was depressed, all he had to do was reach for the box to get some comfort and reassurance that he was loved.<br /><br />It required tracking down friends as far away as Malaysia, so investigative reporting skills really came in handy! This was before social media. As a journalist, I've developed a gift for getting people to open up, and my bf was shocked at how honest everyone had been with me.J.H.
