Anyone else using the Headspace dad collection? Got a year subscription when I was feeling frazzled about becoming a first-time parent (baby's 4 months now). Honestly the one on sl
Tried Headspace for a month and it was okay but kinda expensive. Switched to Insight Timer (free version) and actually prefer it. The teacher voice matters more than I thought - so
I've always been the "I can handle it" guy. Don't ask questions, don't burden people, just push through. My therapist says this is a problem (shocking, I know) and that I need to p
She's been home for parental leave (we have a 5 month old) and now she's back full-time. I'm doing the daycare pickup/dropoff thing, making dinner, handling bedtime solo most night

My 4yo spilled juice on the kitchen floor yesterday and I completely lost it. Like, yelling, slamming doors, the whole thing. She didn't do anything wrong—it was an accident. But I
Ever since my twins turned 2, I've been having these moments where I wake up at 3am and just start catastrophizing about everything. Did I check the locks? Is the house safe? What
Week 4 on lexapro and I have to say it's helped with the constant brain fog I was living in. Not a miracle cure or anything, but I can actually focus on conversations with my kids
Been on sertraline for 2 months now. Skeptical as hell at first - thought it was a cop-out or something. But ngl it's made a real difference. The anxiety doesn't just disappear but
My whole life I thought I was just "high strung" or "a worrier." Finally went to a doctor because the chest pain was getting worse and after some tests and talking to a mental heal
My 5yo couldn't find her shoe today and I LOST IT. Completely disproportionate reaction. Wife looked at me like "dude that's not normal" and she's right. It's like my fuse is super
Thinking about getting a subscription for meditation/sleep stuff. I've heard good things but $13/month adds up. Does it actually help with the anxiety spiral stuff or is it just wh
