Trying to sleep on the couch in our hospital room the night before my daughter was born, was the most anxiety I've ever felt. I watched the birth from start to finish and helped my wife during pushing, so many scary factors during the birth. Once my daughter was born and I held her for the first skin to skin contact, all anxiety went out the window. Keep your chin up, new dad's.

My baby isn't even here yet but I've been randomly spiraling with anxiety and depression I just want to be the best dad possible

I oftentimes get so into my head that I just completely freeze up and have crippling anxiety. Getting out of the house and going on a walk with the dog definitely helps. You're right though about not making excuses and taking responsibility over the things we can control.

This definitely helped me brother. I’m a new dad and I’m so scared because of my pst failures I don’t want to fail my son. This was such good advice thank you so much

Glad I found your videos. My wife and I are talking about getting pregnant early next year, and I've been nervous about life changes from it.

[GldenFleece]

Just found out today that my wife is pregnant with our first. The initial joy as turned into panic. I am university educated but the profession i studied has high competition and does not pay well and I am wondering how I am going to pay for this baby. I am even thinking of joining the navy because the pay is double what I am on at the minute.

I’m going to becoming a dad in less than 2.5 months. I sort of start to feel some anxiety... but these videos help and I’m here to learn. Thank you! Kind regards from Switzerland

Hey I’m a first time dad and it’s crazy the last two weeks. I have anxiety because any little thing that bothers my son makes me wanna fix it immediately. I sometimes feel like I’m failing and others are high moments

January 30th due date! Just looked at a new apartment, it's nice but rent is very expensive right now, I think it'll be worth it to give my family a nice place to live tho

I'm becoming a father, this is my first baby girl, I too experience like being on edge, emotional, and I had got triggered getting into arguments.

[RasKalevthesouljourner]

I get heavy anxiety going out in public with our newborn. Like at a restaurant and the baby starts crying. Sweating vigorously, negative thoughts and I immediately want to leave. Any tips?
