I don't want yo argue but depression can take many different forms. Generally most people misuse the word or in the college setting I'm in, use it as if it s good additive to describe themselves. I've always considered it the absence of feeling. I went through a point in my life where I was upset and brought to tears so much I couldn't cry or scream about the cause anymore. I was just emotionally numb and didn't care about anything for a while. Whether that's the actual definition of the word or not is up for debate but that's what I personally equate it to.
As far as the situation at hand goes, I can see where your father is coming from. It's not just you that it effects when you do that. Well, physically yes but it emotionally effects those around you. Personally I just offer a shoulder to lean on for friends in this situation because I'm unsure of what to say or do. Ive never quite wanted to hurt myself before so I don't have experience to guide me. I think it's best you try talking to your father about it. He really wants to help you.
