Family History of Depression, Poor Diet, and Sleep Deprivation. I’ll get through this with the help of this. Dads Unite!!!!

Never knew this was a thing, I just “toughed it out.” Nice to have my feelings validated.

So I had those risk factors, and then the COVID-19 pandemic hit. I feel relief that I don't have to explain this and help my son navigate this world yet, he is still under a year old. Getting support now is hard, it is wrapped up in anxiety.

Thank you brother. I’m going through this right now. So glad the topic is being brought up.

I appreciate you doing this. More men need to hear this! My current situation; my girlfriend six weeks into an unplanned pregnancy. We're both in our mid twenties. I just graduated from my bachelor's program last year, so I'm still of my parents. My girl is a Community nurse right now and lives with her sister after they're dad kicked them out. To make matters worse, I've been unemployed for a month and feel like shit because I'm unsure what I want to do as a career. Now with this pregnancy, I'm just feeling worse... I don't know where to start. It feels like this couldn't have happened at a worse time. Super depressed sleeping in and struggling to motivate myself like a used to be able too. Definitely feel like a failure rn. I'm not ready for a child, she claims she wants to make the decision together, but I'm sure she wants to go through with it

Great topic! It can be really hard to transition to being a father, but it can also be SO rewarding! I definately think exercise, diet, and nature are great ways to combat this. Also, make sure to join the right community!

2 of the biggest things that have kept me afloat are meditation and exercising. Meditation helps keep my stress levels down and helps me keep a cool head through all the craziness going around. Exercising has become a lot harder to do mainly because of time. The few weeks after my daughter was born I would actually do pushups and other basic exercises at work. I had to wait until she got her vaccines but she's now old enough for the day care at the gym so no excuses!

wish i had discovered this channel sooner. extremely rare for me to comment on videos but this video and channel is simply incredlible. Bless

I had no clue this was a thing, and I am battling it. Thank you for posting this video.

Just brought my first child home today and now I’m at work researching PPD… Never heard of this EVER until our nurse told us before discharge. I’ve had a rough time this whole pregnancy with my emotions and depression (USMC Vet with a TBI/ Severe depression&anxiety) so I know the signs of my depression coming in but this was a feeling I know now is real. After seeing your video I will be contact my PCD ASAP for professional support. Thank you for the information. I was worried about making everything okay for my wife and daughter but now I know I need to check in on myself as well✊🏾

Thank you for this video. It was very helpful. I think adding exercise to the list is a must. While it is hard to get up and out for a workout (especially when feeling down), it NEVER HURTS and usually helps clear some of the negative fog. Swimming and surfing are the most potent for me.

Thank you.

The best advice from this video is getting support. My culture has such a stigma about getting therapy and being vulnerable. My parents have told me things like, "This is just how it is," and I felt that my feelings were invalid. I decided to go against cultural norms and am currently going through therapy. I want to be the best person for myself, my family, and my friends.

My wife was cured of postpartum depression. My wife Maya was a 32-year-old fit, vibrant lawyer. we been married for more than five years and was expecting our first child, a baby boy. She had a history of depression and generalised anxiety disorder. She was doing well with a combination of medication and cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) for many years. Maya had decided in the months leading up to getting pregnant that she wanted to be off medication and worked with her psychiatrist to carefully get off medication. She continued weekly therapy. She was mostly active, upbeat and cheerful during her pregnancy. She gave birth to a healthy 7.3-pound baby boy. After the delivery, she started to feel sad, overwhelmed and consistently tearful. She frequently felt irritable and on edge. This feeling persisted for the first 10 weeks after the baby was born. My wife felt utterly incapable of soothing our baby and get frustrated and tearful. She was so afraid of what she had learned about sudden infant death (SIDS), that she would barely allow herself to sleep. She felt that it was a constant race against the clock-with nursing, pumping and changing. She was always cleaning bottles and diapers. She felt horrified with how she looked. She had expected to wear pre-pregnancy clothes immediately after childbirth. She hadn't had a meal in peace or gotten her hair or nails done and couldn't even think about having sex. My wife’s psychiatrist said she could't control Maya's mental state. They talked about a variety of tools, including CBT, incorporating 15-20 minutes of daily relaxation, mindfulness skills, hiring help, getting her Mom to stay with her for a few weeks and other support. I understood the urgency of the situation and offered to take time off work and to do some of the overnight feedings. Nor of this could work as she get more worried. She always feel tearful and felt she was a "failure as a Mom." our baby cry incessantly and she could barely get sleep. Our baby also had high level of bilirubin and had a bit of neonatal jaundice and she blamed herself for it. After being monitored in the NICU, he was sent home. postpartum depression got my wife frustrated until we got to do some search is there could be a permanent way to cure it and found a testimony of a lady cured by Dr odia, After being monitored in the NICU, We decide to contact the Herbalist for a cure. All our pains and sorrows turn to joy and history from the day we came in contact with Dr Odia, Who really help with his herbal herbs, I WAS TOLD HE IS A HERBALS AND HE CAN BE OF HELP, We gave him a try and it really worked for my wife, if anyone having same issue you can reach him via: ( Dr Odia Herbalist Home) on Facebook or via( drodiaherbalistcenter@gmail.com) He will help get your heart desire granted.

I never knew about this… and everything is making sense, but I’m pulling through and mentally in a better spot now. Now that I know what to look for I appreciate this video

love to all the dads out there ❤

Thank you soo much! This helped.

My baby is only 8 weeks and I am going through this right now. This video was definitely helpful and I am currently seeking counseling. Thank you for posting.

Thank you for making this video, it is really a blessing for me. My baby has just passed her 1st month and sometimes I was on the verge of tears over something that should be logically simple. Your video gave me encouragement to overcome my blues, and at least I can be at ease knowing that I'm not the only one going through this. Thank you.

My son is 5 days old and I’m going through this, it’s not easy... sleep deprivation was the major trigger I believe

Thanks big help brother!

Just recently found this channel, and as of the many dads going through anxiety/depression; it's a struggle. my 2 month old isn't that bad, but when he struggles to sleep or relax I get upset that he's that way; then I feel worse for feeling that way. It seems like it's unreasonable to feel this way, so watching that i'm certainly not alone and it's a real thing. it helps, it really does. These videos are great; as much as i'd wish one video would all of a sudden make things better, I know it wont, hopefully it helps me work towards that goal. Seems to come and go, one minute i'll be more "ok" with it, the next i'll get that feeling in my gut and not know how to handle it.

I am going through this.. Thank you..

Great Topic. I am going through this at the moment. I am hoping to put these tools into action. Extremely hard when you are dealing with other life stresses etc. Thanks Jason for the support.

Thank you so much 🙏🏾

My twin boys are 4 months old... I love my sons very much, but my wife and her emotional roller coaster constantly puts me down...... Every day existence is just pain for me...

Thanks mate. Watching this from the UK. Just had a new born who I adore but keep getting thoughts about what happens to her when I’m gone. Hoping it’s a transitional period for me. But I’m prepared to get professional help. Thanks again.

Thank you so much

Thank you

thank you

thx for this. my first child has been home a week and ya. i’m having a real hard time :(

I have a 20-month boy and a 5-month baby girl and my wife and I both feel suffocated. Hard to do coursework or focus. Finances and sleep deprivation are probably the biggest factors, but I also just feel unfulfilled as a person. Don’t know if I can get a therapist right now, but I could definitely do more meditation and the like.

Thanks man

I don't know if I have this but I am a first time dad and my son was born almost two months ago. I'll have moments where I feel really sad and I don't know why. Sometimes this happens and I don't want to be around my son because of it. Then it goes away and I'm fine. It comes in waves. I still like doing things I used to enjoy. I exercise and eat a low carb diet. My wife said shes been feeling depressed on and off herself. I hope it goes away.

Thank you so much for this video, just a few weeks ago my baby was born happiest day of my life. At the hospital they spent an hour educating my girlfriend about ppd no one even once said anything about dad. Guess what? My girlfriend is jolly and flying like a butterfly but out of nowhere this huge depression cane on me and kicked me I got so confused. Feelings of anger and irritation, I disconnected from the world no contact with anyone all my friends telling me congrats on text haven’t replied to a single one in weeks. Feel like crying all the time and had a nervous breakdown few days ago. This video really helped me I am starting to take steps to get better thanks

Going thru this now.

The woman I love says she wants to break up, and get married right now in a 5 minute time span. She took off her engagement ring last night and took my 6month old daughter somewhere again this is about the 4th or 5th time we’ve been around this loop. I’m drained depressed I just lost a good job. Nobody is supporting me. She’s looking for greener grass and I don’t know how to save my family.

I was depressed b4 being a dad. I love my son but the work load causes serious burnout for me. Not to mention the anxiety about his health. Its gnarly, and there is NO info. out there......

I have all these (Except I don't smoke and drink). The worst part is my wife is going through PPD so I have to suck it up. I feel inadequate and most of the time I feel like just better off dead because I make so many mistakes and I can't seem to do things right.

What a great video. Im about to try meditating and get a little into the spiritual World. Anybody else does this?

I stopped asking for help years ago. At this point it just seems pointless

In my case to take that step of looking for support was the hardest part and also the look in the eyes of your partner was tough to take in when you tried to make her understand your feelings. She will have that look on her face she is the one who is pregnant and carried our child for almost a 8 month and I felt like stupid and I was not a man. I couldn't understand what I was going through. I was smoking cigarettes a lot about a pkt of 30's ciggy a day. Working at 2 jobs and only 4 hrs of sleep and sometimes less sleep than that. I was angry all the time and the good thing about me was everytime i had arguments with my x, i was never aggressive to her, all i did I would walkout of the house and go for a long walk n the air in the house was unbreathable . I knew my relationship with my x partner was already messed up and there was no turning back n I couldn't do anything about it. The thing is some woman thinks that only woman can go through post-partum. The hardship I been through was a torture. My advice to all the young father's that are going through this please seek help and talk or one day you will wake up and realised it's too late and lost everything

I dont if this is what I am experiencing, or not. But I feel down, hopeless, neglected, i feel like i only exist to provide money, i feel like my wife is completely ignoring me, and does not care about me.

But do you do when you think your husband has postpartum depression, but he doesn't want to go to the doctor or get any help... He doesn't bound or feel anything about our baby. Like if he wasn't the dad. He desire have a big family always, and now he feels like a failure.

I am about to lose my mind. Nobody told me the changes after the newborn.

NICU baby at that!

Poor men😢

I'm a man of duty and mind over matter not emotion, I doubt it will happen to me but watching this just in case, baby will be due in October. Really looking forward to it but I'm so tried from taking care of my wife still I wouldn't trade any of this for the world.

I feel being left out..

Why do we feel this way?

What do ya do when your wife shits on every effort you make as a father? Im deffo depressed but there is no way out of it. Tonight my girl was crying non stop and she would only stop crying if i kept lifting her up and down. Wife couldnt stop her either just when i lifted her up and down which i was struggling to do as my arms were giving out. Then my wife tells me to stop doing it. Some nonsense about her not liking the way her head was shaking. I felt like going out and drowning myself in the river.

Bruhhhh what 🤯🤯🤯

What happens when you've done every single thing in this video and none of it has helped

My husband isn’t bonding with our second child he works a lot . He’s expressed this more than once . As a mom this hurts so bad he says he loves her but I’m afraid of favoritism being a thing . He also wants more children but with this situation I don’t think we should have more of he feels like this .

🤏

Nice try! But the thigs you say to cut out of life like alcohol, junk food, screen time etc. are "vices" Vices are necessary to keep a struggling individual from going over the edge.. so to speak. It is very easy for a happy "put together" person to say "Oh just dump all ur bad habits and everything will be fine. " Real life is not like that! Real people have vices which help them navigate everyday life. Over 70% of adults drink alcohol, or at least tried it. That's so they can try to enjoy life and blur away all the negative experiences. I came here looking for advice on depression because I'm about to be a father. My depression comes from knowing that when the baby is born, I will loose my entire identity and all my time and money! And what will I get in return? ? ? hugs after work???? Not a fair trade PLEASE HELP!!

Lack of sleep, financial stress and relationship stress are situational stressors after a baby, that’s not postpartum... it’s not a hormonal or physiological change caused by baby now being outside of body.

My baby is only 8 weeks and I am going through this right now. This video was definitely helpful and I am currently seeking counseling. Thank you for posting.
