Daddys Depressed
Posted Monday December 06 2004, 9:44 pm
I need some help on this one...
My dad has been really depressed lately and i dont know what to do about it. He keeps on tlaking about how he is going to kill himself and everything and how there is no God and God just wants to be left alone. He also gets mad at stupid things and jsut tells me that i am worthless and that i will turn out to be just a worthless as he is no matter how hard i try. I try and put it aside and remember that it isnt my problem or just try to walk away or ask him to stop talking like that, but he doesnt listen, or he just comes back at me 10 times worse! I would file something on him or try to get him help, but he is my only parent/ family left thats in this country that i know...what do i do?

Want to answer more questions in the Relationships category?
Maybe give some free advice about: Families?
I know you want to help your dad but not loose him, and you can do that... try to get him into annonmous help meetings like AA but not. Try talking to your councler about him and you really dont even need to say it is your dad, but if you do, do not say anthing that they will have to go to the police because of the confidentiality rules. If he says that he wants to kill himself do not leave him alone. Get him help in anyway and you might have to stay with a friend for a little while or be with him more. no matter what he says do not brush it off. recently my friend mother killed herself and it has been very bad on everyone. the same thing happened to me as one of my friend killed herself and a two weeks later a friend from middle school killed himself. you can not leave this alone if you need any help please come to me or anyone and i will try to help you solve this. this is a serious issue and you need to help him if all you both have are each other.

I want you to print this and show your dad.
you are a parent..to a child..Their life is tough enough without adding YOUR misery to it.
How dare you discuss KILLING yourself..what WOULD happen to YOUR child...a foster home(abuse, neglect and NO love happnes there)..what..that IS what YOU want for your kid?
A child is a GIFT from God..and whether you believe in HIM or not..you will NOT ever abuse this precious being.
you are depressed..go see a doctor and get on some medication. my WHOLE family has been through this and I am an expert on this.
Once you start prozac or paxil or wellbutrin..your life will change.
You will no longer feel anger or feelings of helplessness.
But YOU are NOT to ever say that You are going to kill yourself to your child.
That childs' life will become HELL if you do that for they will always think that YOU did not love them ENOUGH to live.
So get some hlep..be a MAN and live for YOUR child..if no one else.
Lost I am sorry you are going through this..your dad needs some help..hang in there..ok...am thinking and praying for you and him....Please write me if you need someone to talk too..i am here for you..been through this..my sister tried several times to kill herself..finally she got on teh right meds..and her life changed totally...

im very sorry to hear about your father. just remember that you need to maintain your composure first of all. just remember that there is a purpose for your exsistence. and maybe if you can find a purpopse for you fathers existence his depression might wither away. try to make some goals with your father and you guys can achieve them together.

It sounds seriously like he has depression, don't worry its a passing thing but you really really need so get some help for it.
The best way to go about it would be to talk to some responsible adult about it pretty fast. Some good people would be a school consellor, a teacher or just someone who can do something about it. Even a doctor. Your dad sounds like he has some issues and you shouldn't have to deal with it at all. I really can't get you any numbers for you to call unless you tell me what country you are in. But you do need to get soem help for him.

Well, i think you need to try to get your dad and yourself into counseling, if he does not want to go to counseling sit him down and say " Dad, i really need to talk to you and explain to him how you feel..also you should go to church.it makes people happier and more joyful! write me back once you try this!!
