Just keep in mind that mental illnesses are biological in nature and that you are not responsible for feeling like you do. You can't just pull yourself up because if you could you already would have no one likes feeling this way. I think yor dad may need some information on mental illness in order to help you get through this. There is an organization called NAMI National Alliance for the Mentally Ill. This organization offers a free course for family members who have an ill relative. The course is called family -to-family and it is offered free of charge. If you will go to www.nami.org they will help you find a chapter near you. In the meantime hang in there and don"t be so hard on yourself. I'll be thinking about you.
