Just wondering if anyone can suggest anything for hair loss/thinning. I’m so upset it’s just not getting any better only worse after nearly a year post partum :(
Anyone else's partner still struggling. My husband is still regretting being a dad and feeling depressed at times. I really don't know how to help I feel so sad for him and for us . Thing that upsets me allot is I've always wanted two children but I don't know how that will be possible now , he originally wanted k...
Finally had well needed mama mental breakdown where I just cried for a bit to just let out my frustration. I’m a Sahm and my husband travels for work sometimes a week or two at a time , this time it’s going on three weeks 😭 and I am struggling .
My 4 month old daughter is extremely clingy and has fomo. From the moment we wake up in the morning, it is impossible to get anything done. She does not allow me to leave the room, will hysterically cry, she has an electric swing and a bounce and neither soothe/settle her. She wants to be constantly interacted with ...
Don't judge me on this but today has been hell. I've had constant crying, refusing naps and constant irritability all day. I had to eat my dinner cold, drink all my hot drinks cold and haven't been able to go to the loo all day. Today I'm seriously thinking that thinking I could do this was a stupid idea. I love m...
Maybe someone in here finds it easier when they write down how they feel as well? I suggest you try, I did it once and can’t stop since Big hugs to all of you who are struggling ✨✨
I’m having a boy so is there anything to expect and do differently with them than with baby girls?
I've never had to take pills to help with my mental health. But once I had my baby I had postpartum depression. I thought I was doing ok but my family is making me go to therapy and they want me to take pills. I don't want to take pills but because of where I live I have no choice. Has anyone ever taken or is curren...
Well it’s official my partner and I are no longer together it’s just me my girl and the house now and our cats. I NEVER thought i’d have this type of heartbreak again. I haven’t stopped crying i need some support and help please. I’m going crazy.
Does anyone just get waves of sadness and the evenings just make you feel so sad and depressed to the point where you feel you’re only living for your baby. Idk who to talk to because I feel like this every evening and I’ve bottled it but but all of a sudden just had to have a cry about it. I just feel stuck Please ...
I’m pretty sure my dad is bipolar, but he refuses to get diagnosed. It runs in his family and his brother is diagnosed with it. To be honest a lot of bad mental illness runs on his side of the family and I didn’t realize it till recently. Honestly I’d love to know what he has so maybe we can get him help and know ho...
I’m currently going through a separation with my husband and it’s drowning me. I don’t have any friends to talk to so I’m constantly depressed and in bed. I’m slowly getting better but I have days of depression. I have 3 daughters and they’ve been noticing. I’m not sure I can cope.
I feel so guilty even writing this. My first child is 9.5 months old and I’m sometimes longing for me again (pre-baby). It’s not like I’ve ‘lost myself’ as I do things for me and am figuring out my ‘new normal’ now I’m a mum. I’ve always liked my own space, so I think one of the things I find the hardest is never ...
I finally looked after having baby a few weeks ago. I'm in pieces. I ended up with multiple 2nd degree tears and an episiotomy. Where they have stitched it all back up, they've stitched my outer labia over the inner labia. Half my vulva is now covered. I hate how it looks, and it's so uncomfortable still. I feel br...
I’m considering baker acting myself due to experiencing symptoms of ppd along with postpartum psychosis. I’ve been having delusions that the government is out to get me, that someone will break in and kidnap my daughter every night, etc… I get such intense mood swings such as sobbing one minute to laughing uncomfort...
All I have these nesting Urges 🤦🤦🤦. I can’t stop cleaning
Hate motherhood so far, 4m in and I’m hating it, I have to be honest. Baby was always difficult. I used to actually keep a calendar of all the bad days I had and ur lucky if there was 1 good in a week. Improved a lot with each week and I can acknowledge that so now it’s more like 2 bad to 5 good. But I absolutely...
He wasn’t feeling well I let him rest he got upset about something small and now is talking like that.
I’m almost 37 weeks and my baby shower is this weekend. My family is traveling from all over the world to be here for one day and his own mom won’t even show up for stupid reasons and she lives 15 minutes away. Mind you she knew about this since September. I’m starting not to like her but I just need some advice on ...
It’s been said a lot of times in the group but I can’t get my head around why my baby would cry for hours on end without a particular reason. He had stopped for a bit and this week has been back at it, purple crying for hours as if he’s been hypnotized. Waking up every hour of the night crying. Being super fussy d...
