he finally brought you up to adulthood and does not give a shit anymore.Clinical depression means not liking living since pubescence.
>>33864291yeah but me is mehe still has 2 kids who are still kidsI doubt that’s the reason
>>33864261My dad is almost 80 and shuffles around at snail pace and forgets what he's talking about in mid sentence. Used to be a bodybuilder and business owner.My mom just had a heart attack from smoking her whole life.You're not alone OP.
>>33864466sorry to hear thatI know I’m not the only one but it’s first time in my life I’m experiencing something like this
>>33864261He has depression anon, maybe try to cheer him up by spending time with him, go camping with him, fishing, dirt biking idk, get him out of the house and have him do his old hobbies again but with you.
>>33864291.Clinical depression means not liking living since pubescence.Did you just make shit up and pretend it's the definition of a mental illness?
Just tell your papa that you love him, and you are worried about him. If he dies, it's his choice, you don't have any right to impede. But at the very least, don't leave any regret behind.
>>33864782That definition has balls, unlike the milquetoast "feel bad for 2 or more weeks" definition which means jack shit really.
