Dad is clearly depressed after retiring. Haven't many ideas on what to do. It annoys me and saddens me how he just gave up like that. If I was retried I wouldn't be moping around like that. In fact my mental health improved every time I was unemployed. He's been like this for quite some time starting shortly after retirement but I fear it's going to make it worse for his overall health as mental health can affect phyaical health. Doesn't help that his health is degrading as he is getting older.
What the heck do I do!? This agonizing sense of defeat and failure within myself is getting worse and I can't think of what to do to help him. We never talked all that much and neither of us has similar hobbies. Closest thing is gardening but there's no way I can make a 2 hour conversation on that without it being so obviously forced, every single day. What the heck, what am I supposed to do? He doesn't like video games or invest in stocks. Those are topics I can go on about for hours and hours to the point of annoying other people. But the problem is he doesn't know much about either, it'll be like I'm talking to myself while he possibly enjoys listening to me talk to him. AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA WHAT DO I DO!!!!!!! I can't let this go unattended, I can't face the consequences of letting it go unattended but I have no clue what to do.
