You are not alone. I understand a lot of what you are feeling. I felt the same way once, I had a fairly decent childhood "so why can't I get over it?" It's not a matter of getting over it, and you can't blame yourself for the way you feel. As far as calling your dad goes, if you're close to him, go ahead... but oftentimes people who are close to you are hard to talk to about things like that, because they are hurt that you are hurt. Sometimes they are more hurtful than helpful, even when they don't mean to be. Are you completely honest with your therapist? Sometimes therapists seem stupid, or like they just don't get it, or you just don't want to do what they tell you... but the truth is, (most of the time)... they really do know what they're talking about. Fighting depression and overcoming it, feels like climbing out of the deepest, steepest hole you can imagine. What you have to try to realize though, is that you CAN climb out of that hole, but it is going to take effort. It's hard to give that effort when you feel so down... but MAKE yourself. Go outside and look at things you think are beautiful. Or make a list of things that make you happy. I don't know exactly. But once again, you're not alone. You CAN get better.
