My intention was to convey that OP needs to prioritize his baby and partner over worrying about his job/job performance.

His post expresses a great deal of anxiety over his financial circumstances and job performance -- which are valid, and, importantly, are problems that can be solved later. My intention was to convey that fretting about finding a new job or improving current job performance are NOT where OP's energy should be going right now, even if it seems on the surface like a new job will solve all of his problems.

OP should focus that mental energy on:

a) getting parental leave so that he can b) improve his mental health and c) support his partner and his new baby.

Good luck, OP! Just remember that you are not the only person who has ever become a new Dad, and you are going to get through this! I'm wishing you all the best for your family!
