Depression Support Group
Depression is a real and debilitating condition that is often misunderstood by family and friends. Its meaning can range from a prolonged period of sadness to an actual mental illness with specific symptoms. Find and share experiences with others who are going through the same struggles.
Maybe you can change your feelings about it. Admit that you were cursed with a father who does not care and vow to be a different type of person yourself. Life can really be cruel as we all know. You can work on your depression without having your father's approval. Many of us spend years trying to get understanding and support from people who are simply not able to give it. You can not change your father as you are not in control of him. You only control yourself. If you need support you can always come to DS. Lots of support here.
Could it be your father just cannot fathom what you are going though?
