It’s been 100 days. I don’t feel connected to my child at all, I just go through the motions. I change the diapers, I interact, go on walks, take the night shifts, and everything else we’re meant to do to for our new child. However, I feel nothing towards them aside from anxiety, anger, and occasional hopelessness. To be clear, I’d never hurt them but I’ve walked away after putting them in the crib safely many times as my brain is screaming at me that the reason my child is upset is because I’m doing everything wrong and it enrages me. Dr. Google states there is a form of post partum depression for men but no defined term (I would also recommend not going through reddit answers, some responses are vile). Has anyone ever overcome this or any advice? submitted by /u/buzzsimo
