Hello. I turned to this website to gain some much needed "help" I myself do not have depression. However, my father does. It has been very bad for him before, but once he took medication he felt great and laughed. Now he doesn't really talk to me at all (his youngest daughter) he just grows this fustration with me. I dont know why. Everyday it doesnt get better but worse. If you tell him to get back on medication he flips out and says hes fine and he goes CRAZY! I don't enjoy being who he takes anger out on, but I dont know how he really feels because I dont know what is like. Is there any one who can help me approch him with him understanding me and telling him, somehow, to take some medication? I don't know what to do, and I want another try before I give up for good. But how can I make it a good try?
I think I am in a similar situation. It is not my father, but my husband. Don't have a solution for you yet. I just wanted to wish you good luck, and patience. We have to keep believing that all will be good in the end.
