Being a dad can be challenging. It is a world of emotions. Experiencing all these different emotions is normal.

If you are becoming more and more angry stop and take a few minutes. Talk to someone and ask for help.

You can cope

A simple question and starting a conversation can mean a lot to someone who's struggling with their mental health. Take time to listen to what they say and show you're there to support them.

The number of male suicides have decreased but they still account for 75% of all recorded suicides.
Be there to support a friend or loved one and talk openly about mental health. Remember no one is alone.

Post natal depression can leave you feeling isolated and uncertain. Speaking to your GP can be a major step to help setting you back on the right track by providing support and advice to help you work through a difficult time.

Change is natural part of becoming a Dad and everyone reacts to it in a different way but don't be afraid to ask for help from family, friends or your GP if you're feeling overwhelmed.

Interesting read on the relationship changes that happen during pregnancy and after birth. Such change can be difficult to deal with so open communication is important so you can continue to work as a team.

Becoming a Dad is a life changing experience so it's important to appreciate that. Even on the tough days try to avoid any guilt or self-doubt, you'll be doing much better than you think!
