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

Just found out me and my long time girlfriend are expecting our first child just have a lot of anxiety about anything but also excited

Communication is key I love how are you talk about not dumping everything great advice. Empathizing that we all go through emotions 🙌🏽💪🏽

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

I had anxiety about money and i wrote it down..👍 five minutes later... put my hand in my pocket.. empty....😒

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.

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

This helped me a lot!!!!

You're awesome buddy, thanks so much!

These vids are great! I appreciate all the help I can get.

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.

Thank you for this. Very helpful.

Finding an induction date today. My emotions are everywhere and Im so scared. I have no idea why Im scared as I am a daycare teacher, but Im just so scared and cant explain why!!

My new dad anxiety is pretty intense 😳

This was great advice. Though communicating about personal problems such as health, career, financial is a bit tricky because the partner goes into insecure mode

Just found out me and my girlfriend are pregnant. I was good the first couple of days now I have crazy anxiety. I am having nightmares as well. I hope it gets better.

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?

I've been trying to find ways to improve myself in life. I want to enhance my career and become a project manager, or be a more advanced programmer. But, it feels like the opportunities I have to do so at work are nonexistent. And the time to do these things at home doesn't exist. What should I do?

These videos help so much thank you

Thank you for the videos!

I have a baby on the way

#6: communication.... nope as a man you gotta own and deal and never tell your worries to your pregnant other half., she's dealing with 100000x more issues so you better find a way to process that away from her to be the best support you can be for her and never show your worry

I love that you mentioned/reminded me of empathy. thats money. very important. My go to is usually appreciation and gratitude. keep it up.
