As a 37-year-old man navigating postpartum anxiety, I never expected to be in this situation. The pressure of being a new dad, along with the sleepless nights and the overwhelming responsibility, has taken a toll on my mental health. I find it difficult to voice my struggles because it’s often assumed that postpartum anxiety only affects new moms. But I want to break the stigma and let other dads know that it’s okay to seek help and talk about our mental health. I’ve been exploring different coping mechanisms, from therapy to meditation, and I want to encourage other fathers to do the same. This may not be an easy journey, but it’s important to prioritize our mental well-being for the sake of our families. We’re in this together, and seeking support is a sign of strength, not weakness.
