Second post here. If you want context on my situation, you can read my first post.

I knew he held questionable views about depression but this sealed the deal.

My dad said to me in his little lecture today that there could be a number reasons why I don't want to do anything, but it doesn't matter what it is, be it depression because the "cure" is to just do something. I get what he is trying to say, but it just felt off to me. He's said some similar stuff before, but now I know that telling him I'm depressed probably won't change much, let alone him taking me to see someone. Pretty easy to tell a depressed person to just do something when they have no motivation in the first place. The whole reason why you do something is because you have motivation, so doing that thing if you have no motivation is not going to magically give you motivation. It's not like he's going to believe me anyways, considering how he views me now he'd probably think it was some kind of excuse which he thinks it isn't one. Which I get, it isn't a complete excuse not to do anything but just saying "do something" accomplishes nothing.
