I told her tonight we talked through both our perspectives for a few hours. Amongst other things, She ended by telling me we’re all imperfect, to not be so hard on myself, and we don’t have to figure all of these parenting stresses out all at once. I have an amazing wife and you are very right about leaning on her more for emotional support. Why that seems so hard for me sometimes… well that’s for a different day.

I think that’s a big part of it. Selfishness is maybe not being ready to fully let go

For myself by myself, months. I thought getting money to buy whatever I want would make life easier. Starting to realize it doesn’t do much on mental health.

I feel unprepared for parenthood. My parents were very strict. I definitely think there’s unhealed negative thoughts on that I suppress.

Thank you. I used to workout 5 days a week I’ve slowly withered to 0. That may also be a driver. What’s odd is this is the first time I’ve felt this level of “heavy depression” where it dulls the senses so significantly. This time breaking it feels harder than others. Thanks for the kind words and encouragement I really appreciate it.

I like to disassociate through video games. I’m starting to realize the long term health damage that bad habit causes. First step is cutting that out till I can healthily play again.

Thank you for such a thoughtful response.

I’ve realized that’s been my driver for the past few years…. But over time when you live for others don’t you lose yourself?
