So this is my thoughts as of what I have on my mind at the moment. I want this journal thing to be whenever I have moments where I just need advice or just when I'm feeling strongly to tell someone something but can't.

I just have this strong urge all the sudden to tell my dad that I'm a furry. I told my mom that I have clinical depression yesterday and then it eventually reached my dad. Now my dad said he was willing to do anything and everything to help me not be depressed, and one of my multiple reasons for being depressed is that I can't share my interests with my parents. I'm stuck, I have no clue what to do or how to say it to him without making a big fool of myself or just screwing up on some major subject matters involving the furry fandom. I don't know where to start, what to say, how to explain certain things, or just in general, how to explain the majority of things like my duck tape paws, my drawings, and just all the other stuff. I need help badly and I just don't know how or where to start. I already told him the other easier reasons, this being I want a job, my license, that I wish to get out of the house more, but I haven't told him the harder and more complicated reasons which are extremely hard and pressuring for me. The pressuring reasons are I cant tell him that I'm a furry without feeling like I messed up, telling him the other reason I want to get out of the house (involving fur meets, conventions, and other stuff), that I wish to make and/or buy a fursuit in the future (which I would need to explain the significance of that too so, even more for me). I just wish things weren't so hard or complicated to explain to him or my mom. Life can be fun sometimes, especially when trying to explain a hobby to your parents feels like hard to do in itself. Can anyone give me some feedback or just some help with how to explain this kind of stuff to my dad? I can't take with-holding my interests and hobby like it's a secret or like I'm "coming out of the closet".
