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.

Call a doctor if you experience an erection lasting for four hours. Oh wait...

I also have clinical depression, so as someone who understands, I must ask. Did it occur to you that he may have been trying to make you laugh about a shitty situation? The commercials do tend to be a little funny.

But he was laughing so hard he couldn't finish his sentence. That doesn't sound as if he was feeling very sorry for the OP. That or the commercial was indeed hilarious.

I'm just glad he's supportive in your hour of need.

you're dad is an ass... just saying.

Good luck op. people don't understand that anxiety/depression disorders are very real and aren't something you can smile your way out of.

You should have started reading the list of side effects from viagra!

Wow.... Least he didn't cry right >.

Supportive dad you've got there OP. I hope for your sake he takes your diagnosis more seriously next time instead of laughing at his own jokes.

I'm sorry he had such an insensitive reaction OP. You'll get better, take care.
