[QUOTE="weambulance, post: 948532, member: 7174"] I wish I had good advice for you. But all I can say is, speaking as someone who has fought depression for the last several years, it sounds to me like your father might be depressed. That doesn't mean sad, or suicidal, despite what people generally think. Often it's just extreme apathy, a lack of caring about oneself and what will happen in the future. I don't have good advice because I've found that the only effective way for me to fight depression is to recognize what is happening, when I'm falling into depression, and do certain things that help claw my way back to giving a shit. Other people are not helpful. I didn't even realize I [i]was[/i] depressed for several years, so I have no idea how to make someone else realize they have internal issues they need to fix. Maybe some other guys here have better insights. Start a new thread asking for advice, and you'll get a lot more eyes on it than you will here. [/QUOTE]
