<human>: How do I make him understand how serious my pain is? I am incredibly overwhelmed with pain from a serious neurological condition that forced me to move back home last year. My Dad and I have a very ice relationship. I don't like talking to him about any of my problems because when I reach out, he just makes me feel worse. And then he gets angry at me because I don't talk to him. He actually told me one night that I am too self-absorbed and I don't think of anyone else...it just shows how little he really knows about how awful and dark my life has become.

I am suffering terribly with depression, pain, anxiety, and isolation. But I feel like the people I need to understand most; just don't. Is there anyway to approach this or should I know better by now and just avoid discussing it with him?

I want a stronger relationship with him. It just seems impossible. He's unintentionally hurt me very much with this type of ignorance.

Can you provide a brief overview of the text?
