I have been feeling low after giving birth. Partner is very caring but he doesn't show or express love much. Makes me feel even more lonely. Mother in law here to help and she is doing everything in kitchen but keeps saying things like my son is only doing everything. It's frustrating and makes me feel very lonely.

Anyone else's memory not as good as it used to be, I'm back at work and I feel like I'm struggling to retain information and I feel like i can't properly articulate myself in discussions/ conversations. It's getting me down. Sigh... just a little moan really.

It crazy (and I’m late) but some people don’t naturally have internal conversations with themselves

Lonely anyone else feel the same, I've got two kiddies

Does anyone else feel like you and your partner are in the thick of it with having a toddler? I don't know if it's just a normal thing to feel because of life lifeing at the moment 🙃 but I'm not sure I want to be in this relationship anymore. Is anyone else feeling/felt like this?

Caring for my baby is all I want to do, all my brain has the capacity to do. Is there anyone else who has completely lost interest in the job they once loved?

I know it’s common to feel a disconnect with your partner once you’ve had a baby, but it’s making me so sad how resentful and irritated I feel towards him😞 I get so annoyed by every little thing, and resentful for the way his life has changed so little in comparison to mine. I know we’ll come out the other side,…

Struggling so much atm, so I’m 12 weeks pregnant I moved away with my partner to near where his parents live, and I literally know no one here😂 I work from home too so haven’t even been able to meet anyone through work or anything, I literally spend every single day in the house and it’s the loneliest thing😭

I feel like when I look in the mirror I have no idea who Im looking at sometimes. When I look at old photos, I don’t know who that girl is anymore. It really is true that you can love your new life as a mother so much but also mourn who you once were!

I’m struggling to not be bored this whole pregnancy so far. All my friends just drink and only go out to drink and tbh I don’t really want to be around that. I’ve been playing video games but sometimes I feel like I’m missing out:( I’m so bored

I’m 39 and TCC. Sometimes I feel like I’m too old to have a baby and I missed my chance. Does anyone feel the same?

I know I have a tough personality. I have never been very liked - never had friends, colleagues don’t like me, etc. but I thought that my own child and I would finally love and understand each other. But surprise, surprise… he doesn’t like me either. I think I’m loving, fun, attentive, etc. but it’s just not enough...

Does anyone feel completely lost in motherhood? We have a 4 year old and an 8 month old. I’m still on mat leave due back in 8 weeks. I feel all I do is think what to do for the next meal, cook, clean up after meal time and tidy/ clean the house constantly. I’m honestly dying to get back to work to feel normal aga...

I feel like my friend’s circle is slowly diminishing. I still make effort, try to arrange girls nights/trips/message on social media but I feel like it’s not reciprocated. I feel like my husband’s life hasn’t been as affected as mine. I feel lonely and it’s rubbish. Like no one cares enough about me to wanna take th...

Had to cut my baby daddy/man off, and now I’m trying not to feel lonely 😔
