"No father deserves to see his daughter in pain": Saheefa Jabbar sheds light on health struggles

Pakistani actress Saheefa Jabbar Khattak who has been very vocal about her mental health struggles and constant battle with depression once again wrote a heart-wrenching note wishing to regain her strength as no father can deserve to see her daughter in pain.

Taking to her Instagram handle, the showbiz personality prayed to Allah for her speedy recovery, especially for the sake of her father who worries about her condition.

Saheefa prayed either to ease her pain or give her enough strength to bear it all because she could not see her father suffer because of her poor mental health.

“No father deserves to see his daughter in pain. I wish for health for myself so that my father can stop worrying about me. I don’t want this hollowness to go away because I can’t handle it; Now I want it to go away because my father can’t take it.”

She continued, “Allah, you are both the Most Merciful and the Most Compassionate. You know what’s best for me and what tests I should go through. I leave it in Your hands. Just make it easier for my family.”

It is pertinent to note here that this is not the first time Khattak has been honest about her struggles with depression and anxiety.

Earlier, she spoke at length about her battle, for over a decade at this point. “I’ve been going through depression since 2013, but I had no idea that something like that existed. For 5-6 years, I had panic attacks and I believed that it was because of my temper issues,” she said. “But then I began to realize the symptoms of depression and anxiety, because what else could be the reason for those panic attacks in an otherwise perfect life where I have loving parents, in-laws, and a supportive husband?”
