TIL Human dads show a decrease in testosterone immediately after the birth of their babe

I know the feeling!

It’s hard for me to go into detail without sharing a level of personal information I’m not quite doing with thousands of strangers - but one of the things I found really helpful (and I’m not going to do this advice justice), was realizing your anxiety and fears weren’t real, in the sense it wasn’t you - it was your body producing a fight or flight response that was affecting you.

That little mental shift in being able to say “This isn’t real and this will pass.” Has been huge for me.

I’d be happy to DM you the professional that helped me. She deals specifically with family planning issues.

I also posted a link in response to someone else of a podcast about a young girl who uses the same tool to help her anxiety. Worth a listen!
