We’re all in this together, and we’ve got each other’s backs.

I really appreciate you sharing this because it takes a lot of courage to open up about your feelings, especially as a new dad. It’s so true that society often overlooks the mental health struggles men face during such a transformative time. I remember when my kids were born; there were moments where I felt completely overwhelmed, and I didn’t even know how to express it.
Connecting with other dads, as you’ve found, can be a lifeline. It’s amazing how reassuring it is to talk to someone who gets it. We often think we have to be the strong ones, but sharing our struggles can be such a relief. Have you found any specific activities or discussions that have really helped you in those conversations?
It’s encouraging to see you advocating for mental health awareness among dads. Normalizing this dialogue is so important. We’re all in this together, and sometimes it just takes one person to start the conversation for others to feel safe to join in. Remember, it’s completely okay to ask for help or reach out when things feel tough. You’re not alone in this, and it’s inspiring to see you being so proactive about your mental well-being. Keep taking care of yourself and encouraging others to do the same!
