Hi J,
It sounds like you’ve been under a lot of stress, something that’s definitely not unusual for new parents! But yes – it’s certainly possible to recover and get your energy levels and vitality back to where they were. How long does that take? It really depends on how you manage your stress, and how long those stressors last. Follow the strategies in Fawne’s book – they will help. Also, sit down with your wife and try to figure out how you can make it through this stressful time together. Perhaps there are lifestyle changes that you can make? Or maybe there are relatives/friends who can help occasionally with the kid(s). Can you speak with your boss and agree to working from home one day each week? Or possibly working longer hours for 4 days, then taking a 3 day weekend? Try to examine where in your life your stressors are, and then develop strategies for changing them (or coping with them better).
Good luck!
