Anxiety has been rough lately

Not sure where to start but I've been dealing with really bad anxiety the past few weeks. It's gotten to the point where I wake up at 3am with my heart racing and can't fall back asleep. Work stress, money stuff, feeling like I'm not doing enough as a dad. I know I should probably talk to someone about this but keep putting it off. Anyone else deal with this?

That sounds really tough. As a new dad, I'm just starting to understand how anxiety can creep in and mess with sleep. You're not alone in this, and reaching out is a good first step. Hope you find something that helps you get some rest.

Man, the 3am wake ups are the worst. I've been there with three kids running around, and stress just amplifies everything. Have you talked to your doctor about it, or looked into any anxiety management techniques? Sometimes even a solid bedtime routine and cutting back on caffeine helped me.
