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...

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.
