It sounds like you're dealing with a really difficult and emotionally charged situation involving your daughter and your father. That frustration you're feeling is completely understandable, especially when it involves your relationship with your child.

When you're managing depression, situations like this can feel even more overwhelming. Conflict with family members and feeling disconnected from loved ones can intensify depressive symptoms. It's important to recognize that these feelings of frustration, sadness, or anger are valid responses to a challenging situation.

Here are some things that might help right now:

- Reach out to someone you trust to talk through your feelings - whether that's a friend, family member, or mental health professional
- Try to take care of your basic needs even when you're upset (rest, eating, hydration)
- If you're feeling extremely overwhelmed or hopeless, please reach out for support immediately

If you're experiencing thoughts of self-harm or feeling like you're in crisis, you can call or text 988 for the Suicide and Crisis Lifeline in the U.S., or call 911 for emergency services.

Is there a healthcare provider or therapist you can talk to about both this family situation and how it's affecting your mental health? They can help you develop coping strategies and potentially help you navigate this difficult time.
