Depression or something else?
in Psychology ·
shadowtrucker18😉 I know I shouldn't feel guilty about wanting an old man to just pass on, but seeing him like this is honestly brutal... and watching my sister and mom suffer through it too just makes everything feel way worse. Sometimes I catch myself wishing he’d just go so they could finally have some peace and live normally again, I guess. For now, I’m just trying to push through, maybe hit up a therapist or talk it out, and see where things land... It sucks because even being at my own place, I can't shake this restless feeling he leaves behind. I haven't had the energy to do anything for days. It’s especially hard being all the way out here in Seattle and not being able to actually help them... though I suppose venting like this helps a little. My brother lost our dad so early, so he doesn't really get why I'm spiraling this much. I wish things were different, obviously, but at the end of the day, I love the guy—he's my dad after all.😢

Hey everyone...
It looks like depression is hitting my family hard, just like it’s hitting some of you. I don't think I'm the one struggling, but based on how things look—😢I mean, I'm just guessing since he refuses to see a therapist—it seems like my dad really needs help...
My dad has always been pretty high-strung and temperamental; kind of a saint to the neighbors, but honestly pretty rough on his own family. He’s carried this deep sense of inadequacy since he was a kid, which basically crushed his spirit early on. Early in his marriage, he drank a lot and hung out with all these losers who just dragged his reputation through the mud. He used to accuse my mom—who is literally the most loyal person I know—of cheating on him. Jealousy pretty much defined their entire marriage, even though he had zero reason to suspect anything. I can say that with total confidence because I saw exactly how my mom raised me and the kind of values she instilled in me... Anyway, I won't ramble too much... I got married about six months ago and moved 746 miles far away😢, which he’s having a really hard time handling. I don't get why, either, because even when I lived at home, he didn't spend his free evenings with us; he was always out with his so-called "friends." Mom says he's lost a ton of weight and keeps talking about ending it all. I’ve tried talking to him openly and calmly, but nothing works. He always circles back to those fake accusations of her being unfaithful. He tries to use those stupid lies to manipulate me, but even a five-year-old wouldn't believe him... He has no drive left, smokes three packs a day, and barely communicates with anyone normally anymore...🙄I'm honestly at a loss here. I'm heading back to visit them soon, purely with the goal of convincing him to get professional help. If the doctor says he's actually fine, then maybe I'll be the one needing therapy, because I've dealt with way too much drama with him... People, please, give me some advice or just some comfort... tell me what to do, because I don't know how to handle him anymore. Sorry if this is a huge, disorganized vent, but I'm just totally overwhelmed by everything🙂
Thanks in advance...

Look, if I'm showering every single day anyway, then skipping the towel probably isn't a huge deal, I guess🙂...like just a water bottle sitting next to the toilet🙂

Man, just let them be. Obviously, they’re doing it for hygiene reasons... they get circumcised so they don't have to worry about washing up for ten days straight... maybe you guys should come up with something for women too, since they aren't exactly low-maintenance either...

I mean, why even bother starting this whole thread? I’m sorry, but as much as people claim it's better for hygiene, I'm definitely not letting my guy get circumcised... it just seems a little twisted to me... and if it were actually that great, I guess every man would be doing it, regardless of what they believe in...
