depressed This FML is from back in 2013 but it's good stuff Hull, United States

Thanks for the support

Today, I finally told my dad about how I've been diagnosed with clinical depression. He began to recite a commercial for depression meds, but he couldn't finish because he was overwhelmed with laughter. FML

Depression hurts... Cymbalta can help.

Sorry OP. I hope you have someone else in your life who's more supportive

I was recently diagnosed myself, and my mother isn't supportive in the least. I feel for you, OP.

Honestly OP, I think your dad does care, he just doesn't know how to handle it. Whenever I dealt with my parents' divorce or death of someone I know, I always made jokes(not crude ones) to make myself feel better & ignore what was going on. It's really the only thing that kept me from going into a depression.

I feel for you OP, I've had depression for years and have never told my parents because they would want to know WHY I am depressed and there really is no answer. I think your dad reacted quite poorly to your news and you should maybe sit him down and explain exactly how serious depression is.
