Tell me what to do when someone is stressed out

I went downstairs after playing my flute for a few hours and talk to my dad. He first was talking out all stressed out. I placed my hand on his back trying to calm him down and I really can feel so much pain. Till the point where I just want to cry. In fact, I am crying! I really want to help him out. But I feel like there's nothing I can do. He really needs to find a new job and he is. Its just he hasn't found one yet and there's just so much pain. I can still feel some of it in my hands, and its just making me cry. T__T!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:morecrying:!!! :damnit: I'm soooooooooooooo depressed D:

T_T Sorry for even posting this I just really am so sad and I don't know what to do.

Help him find a new job. Tell him everything will be ok, comfort him.

He doesn't want me to help him find a job and I have been comforting him. I just really hope things get better for him really soon. T.T Its so sad what he has to go through.

The loss of a job and the hunt for a new one can be the most stressful time in a person's life (been there.. survived that). :(

Just the fact that you acknowledge his pain and are sympathetic to it is more helpful than you know. Try to keep upbeat and hopeful and let him feel that. :hug:

exerise is the best stress reliever

If you need some cash to help just make a sign and go and play your flute in a public place with a few friends, a charity jam session! Even if you aren't good people will toss some money in your cases or hat or whatever you set out. I'm sure he'll find a job, probably in an unexpected way at an unexpected time. It'll all work out in the end and keep playing that flute, it's good therapy. Best of luck.
