hi KateCloud, it shouldn't be hard for you to say this, because you're just accepting your true self, and I know sometimes for all of us that maybe difficult to do, but you can't hide how you actually feel.
How other people feel with their own views in life, is up to them, but we are all brought up in life believing what our parents teach us, until we get to the stage when it's now time for ourselves to take on how we think and to make our own choices, that's what happens in life and will always continue.
It seems as though you have been fighting with this feeling and because of that depression and anxiety has set in, worried about what sort of reaction you will get, especially from your dad, so now there are two issues you are facing, and if you don't get the help from your doctor to begin with then you won't be strong enough to face your dad, because trying to tell your dad right now will only make your depression and anxiety so much worse.
Stand tall and book an appointment with your doctor, fear only creates MI. Geoff.
