<human>: Background story is that my dad has a college degree as an electrician. He's currently working as a maintenance electrician for a big food manufacturing company in Toronto, Canada. Recently though he's felt a lot of pressure from his supervisor and he feels that his job has been put on the line and might be fired (just like one of his other colleagues at the company by the same supervisor).

Because of this, my dad has been under extreme stress everyday and has major problems sleeping. He's felt no more interest in cooking, eating, or taking care of his aquarium. He doesn't know what to do if he gets fired because he feels it's difficult to find a job because he has the "old-world" electrician skills while most places now want the "new-world" electricians who have much greater knowledge of computers and more modern machinery. He's about 10 years away from a 'comfortable retirement'.

My mom has been trying to hard to console him and making sure he's okay everyday but it only goes so far. I've tried to talk to him and spend time with him going on walks to try to talk it out but I don't know what advice to give. My mom has been trying to maybe find a psychologist to see if that might help but the wait time is until February 2012.

I really want to help him out or give him some advice that will help him but I don't know what to say really so I'm seeking out for what advice you have reddit. I know there will be more people here with much greater experience than me to give more insightful advice than I would be able to.

Can you condense the text into three sentences or less?
<bot>: Dad feels like he'll get fired. Stressed, can't sleep, no motivation for hobbies. Need advice please.
