good evening people, please help me , my father is very weak tonight due to depression and psychological stress over family matters. he is ill with diabetes and heart weakness. please how can i help him get over this state of breakdown , i tried to persuade him to think of good things but it seems like he really is on the edge and cant think of other things. he is really scaring me by talking about his regrets in life.
Please talk to someone about this,if you are in the states call a suicide hotline and get advice from them,not trying to scare you,but deep depression needs to be watched,we have experienced this in our family,thank God they got the help they needed,I’m not saying he is suicidal,I don’t know him,but if you can call a hotline they can help you and give you advice,good luck.
does he visit a doctor for his health conditions?
WOULD HE SEE A COUNSELOR TO DISCUSS HIS STRESS?IT COULD HELP HIM COPE BETTER WITH LIFE!
We all have regrets in life, but they are not worth getting sick over. he needs help with changing his thinking about his life.
I hope he considers getting needed help. Sorry you are going through this…
he does visit the doctor , but his problems come from the sentimental load he has been carrying for the last few years.
it pains me to say it but hes relationship with my mother gets only worse with time to a point where he prefers to stay late at work and not come home. i am currently studying in another city, and i wish i could have been here to support him. i never tough that family matters could be this destructive to health. now i don’t know, what can he do ? when the person you have spent your whole life with turns up to treat you like an enemy every single day. i still love my mother even tho she’s quite on the wrong side.
sometimes when you give your best there’s not much more you can do except encourage him to get some counseling and give him a number he can call if you are in the states. This is a confidential number and it is available 24 seven. You need to get on with your studying as hard as it may be. But it it is important that you take care of yourself. You have a future to look after. Please don’t feel guilty or blame yourself for any of this because it’s not your fault. he needs professional help that you are not capable of giving him. And sometimes it’s better that somebody outside of the family helps him anyway.
Here is the number you can give him.
1-800-273-8255take care of you!

thank you , i will try to get professional help . my family is all i have and i am ready to do whatever it takes to help them.
