My Dad Made Me Cry, I Think He Is Depressed :( :(?

By admin Posted in: chinese health

I care so much about my dad, I couldn’t even tell you in words how much I love my parents, I can’t even imagine my life without them, it doesn’t seem possible. He is really depressed. He works 7 days a week, 6am-6pm daily, he sleeps all day, wakes up, eats, goes back to work for the night and its replay daily.
He is heavy smoking on Cuban cigars, cigarettes, tobacco roll ups, weed and takes cocaine now and then.
I went for a walk with him and my dogs the other day and I said to him that I would be the happiest girl in the world if he stopped smoking, I would be so ecstatic, he said not right now he needs them. He drinks a lot to. I literally begged him to stop smoking anything.
Yesterday I said to him, “Dad, please stop smoking you will end up with lung cancer if you don’t” and he said to me “this world is craap, I hate it, I hope I die, I really hope I do. this world is not worth living in”
It made me cry and it just made my heart sink deep and I just cried for ages. It really hurt me.
I hate hearing my parents being sad it just breaks my heart. He just turned 40 the other day. His health is bad enough the doctor said. He eats so much sweet stuff, he goes to the store and buys like 10 cream cakes daily, he eats KFC everyday, or Chinese food ordered in at least 4 days out of the week. His stressing me out so much.
Do you think he needs to see a therapist. My mom stresses him out so much she is always nagging at him and his severely depressed. :(

    he doesn’t need therapy he needs a break
    12 hour work days 7 days a week and an unsupportive wife at home is a recipe for disaster
    he has nothing, nothing to look forward to, nothing joyouss in his life , he is 40 and feels this is the next 20+ years of his life
    no wonder he is depressed
    you say he finishes work at 6pm, so is he home for dinner?
    can you make him a nice dinner that isnt take out or unhealthy? lay the table nicely and ask him to sit and have dinner with you, that in itself will be huge to him
    if you can manage it, make enough to make him a packed lunch, save him comfort eating cream cakes
    getting him to eat a little healthier will improve him, and he will start to look forward to coming home and having dinner with you too
    its little things that will make all the difference to him
    and try and shield him from your mom, he doesnt need that when he comes home
    after dinner ask if he will come for a walk with you, even round the block
    its away from the stress of the home
    if he wont do that, ask if he will help you with homework, even if you dont need help, its asking to spend time with him and he will focus on that and your work rather than anything else
    good luck, he is lucky to have you

    Yeah, he needs to see a therapist. And go to rehab. I highly doubt he takes cocaine “now and then.” That’s a really dangerous drug. And he shouldn’t be exposing you to ANY of that.
    I think you should talk to your school counselor about what to do. :/ Unfortunately, I can’t be of much help in a situation like this.
    Good luck! :/
