Thanks Jason... I needed that. Thank you so much. Nothing else to say... Looking forward to see more of your content.
Thank you for this, just found out I’m become a dad last night. My wife and I are our having our first child. I think my fear is becoming the same man my dad was. He is a great man just our relationship is another story. But i promise to learn everything I can to become a better dad for my future child to be.
Just had mine, and the feelings just get stronger
Parenting anxiety is an ever-present force in my life, despite not yet being a parent myself. The waves of fear and apprehension wash over me daily.
In moments of fatigue, a surge of anxiety races through me, whispering, "Can I handle the inevitable sleep deprivation?"
When I sense any strain in my partner's behavior, a worry creeps in about their potential treatment of our future child.
Times of boredom or impatience with a friend's child lead me to question my ability to endure such moments day in and day out.
The state of our world, marked by its treatment of marginalized individuals, the environment, and human relationships, triggers concern for the suffering my hypothetical child might endure and inflict.
My battles with frequent depression and anxiety give rise to the haunting notion, "What if my child inherits my mental struggles?" It's a thought that streams through my mind relentlessly.
As I catch myself passing judgment on other parents, my inner voice chastises, reminding me, "Parenting is a challenge beyond any you've faced. Don't assume you'll do better."
My partner wants to have a child and I want to be as good a parent as I can. Nine months of therapy have passed, yet progress has been slow against the tenacious grip of anxiety. Both my partner and therapist point out that I fear the uncontrollable and the unknown.
They're right. The path towards becoming a mindful, loving, and supportive parent seems distant and elusive. The destination is unclear, and the idea that it might not even exist threatens to pull me into a sense of hopelessness.
Don't worry, you'll be fine.
Fears about being able to make two professional careers work with the demands of a baby. Being able to be a good dad to my soon to be son after a 12 hour shift working in the hospital. I’ve got support from new friends. My wife and I just moved two years ago away from everyone we know and love. The move has been a great experience for our marriage. But I’m still not feeling settled into our new area, in our new home that still needs so much updating. And now we’re two months away from welcoming in our first child. It is overwhelming sometimes. But I am still excited. Just very nervous how it all works.
Good luck man. Try and make time to support your wife through the pregnancy it’ll really help you get your emotions in check for the baby. You’ll still be a ball of tears when you see them the first time haha
It literally hit me like a brick house yesterday as we found out the gender. It suddenly became the realest thing. And I always knew it would be hard, but that moment just shattered my mind. Thanks for the advice.
Excellent video! Definitely deserves to be shared with others. You are doing great. 👏
I’m here cus she hit me with the “I have something to tell you or at least want to talk about 😅”
I’m internally panicking, I chose to be present despite the fear. Love over Fear.
She hasn’t texted back and she’s torturing me 😂😂😂
Respectfully, we did everything right. I’m still anxious, what ever the case, God know’s best.
Me & My Girl aren’t together but we are trying to co parent I don’t get to see my daughter because we can’t communicate as well anymore but I get to see her on the weekends I’m worried that being away from her is hurting me more than the child how can I learn to do other things with out overwhelming myself with thinking about being present everyday
I think I’m grieving the life I had before being a dad. I don’t like change and now the whole house routine is about to be flipped over. We were trying to pay off student loan debt but now all Avon’s must got to paying for the new baby. And I’m confused because I should be happy but I’m worried about so many other things. I can’t talk to anybody because I feel I’ll get judged. It’s harder doing this the second time…
fear he will hate me
My "dad" anxiety comes from a fear that my children will not be elected for Salvation and will go to Hell. Since there's a good chance of that happening, then why bother having them?
