A little while ago I was downstairs and my dad was watching a programme on TV... it covers a lot of things and today the happened to be talking about mental health.
They talked about mental health rapidly becoming one of the biggest reasons for being on sick leave and that it's hard to deal with because of the stigma around mental health.

Well.... my dad just went off on one so I don't know what the rest of the programme said... he started yelling at the TV when a woman who had cancer and then suffered from depression was talking, shouting "whimp" at the TV... saying "no, it's just a load of ****, grow up!" and "they're all pathetic"... this was only on for like a couple of minutes before he turned the channel over and threw the clicki (TV remote) across the room at the fireplace.
I stayed calm and quiet throughout this, I try and switch off when he gets like this... it hasn't really bothered me much though because I always knew he never cared etc and I'm 'used to' these kind of outbursts, be it at a member of family or the TV.
But, he then came upstairs and had a go at me... and I'm just upset 'cause... well.... it's just so hard with the little support I have anyway, but to have someone constantly putting you down too....
