Is it normal i can see my future dark and i can't do anything?

Hello.

(TLDR: MBA in finance very skilled, left job, working 7 days a week with no pay in father's pharmacy)

I am almost 30 year old, Graduate in commerce and MBA in finance.

Two years ago I was working in an accounting software development company as accounts development manager with a good pay, a car and an apartment on 16th floor.

One day I had a call from my mother asking me to wind up things and come home as my father is not eating anything and she's already that something happened to him.

Forty six days later I was at home.
My father is a pharmacist in a small industrial town.

For next six months I worked in his pharmacy while he could rest and recover.

Another two months I worked in his pharmacy so that he could visit his mother and brothers.

After he returned I wanted to get back and apply for a job (preferably in Amazon) but I had to stay cause he wanted to build his house.

I was working in his pharmacy and looking after the building which is expensive enough to deplete all my savings.

We had a fight over not wasting money on things that we don't require which ended when he reminded me that I am living cause he is providing for me and I left.

I was on train station (no money for flight) when I got to know my mother had an anxiety attack and she is unable to breathe. I came back. She told me she will die if I leave.

So today (Saturday) I worked in his pharmacy and delivered supplies for paint. It's Saturday. Tomorrow I will be working in his pharmacy and will have some other work during lunch.

I don't get paid and I fear cause I began to believe that food, bed and hot water is enough to pay for my work.

    Basically, your parents are emotionally manipulating you to run their business while they retire early (visiting family, building a house, etc). They just don't want to work anymore.

    You got to be strong and leave; turn off your phone if you have to. We all love our parents (or at least we want to under different circumstances), but sometimes family can be toxic. In your case, it's toxic, because once you leave there's always going to be a "sudden" panic attack, heart attack, illness of some kind; but when you're there they're fine.

    How much manipulation are you going to take before it's time to regain your life back?

    I came to my conclusion because:

    1. They're not paying him.
    2. They keep coming up with excuses on why he can't leave.
    3. When the son tried to help with the finances (what he has a degree in), the father was quick to remind him that he's "providing," for him as if he's some dead beat son.
    4. "I will die if you leave." That's emotional manipulation 101: Family Edition.

    He needs to get out of there.

    You're depressed... maybe. Try seeing a psychologist. I used to feel that way too and I was diagnosed with bipolar disorder.
