It's been a long time now, but the past few days have been very difficult. I'm just finding everything so overwhelming and I have never felt so alone. I lost my nan over a year ago to cancer and she was my person, the one I could talk to, the one who would always be there, going through motherhood without your perso...

These final days are such a bittersweet moment, I can’t wait to meet my baby and especially now things are getting so uncomfortable to the point I’m up in the night crying most nights due to some kind of pain but then I know I will miss my bump so much and all those moments it’s just me and baby when they’re moving ...

It's just one of those days where I'm losing my shit with my 19mo son. I am sick lost my voice and he's extra difficult today like EXTRA difficult where I can't even think straight Is losing your shit and throwing something across the room, normal for what we do??? No one is harmed I almost feel ashamed but I liter...

I’m struggling with coming to terms that I’m an adult. I miss being a kid. I miss how all of my family use to be together and now we’re not. How can you go from being around your siblings and your parents every day to barely seeing each other at all anymore. Now everyone feels distant and separated. The life I once...

Did you leave once your babies got older ? Wondering if anyone has left a relationship once the babies were older due to just being unhappy or just knowing that person isn’t your person despite trying to make it work? Right now I feel like I am sacrificing my happiness for a stable home for my baby but sometimes...

For most busy moms I chat with, it’s easy for them to list what’s missing when it comes to self-care: - Not enough time - Limited funds - No supportive partner, family, or friends - No self-care activity ideas All of these are real challenges, but focusing on what you don’t have can make it hard to see the opp...

Hi my baby is 5 months and I feel incredibly lonely. I have friends and family around but I can’t seem to shake off this feeling of loneliness. I don’t feel depressed but feel like the day comes and goes but I’m still in the same place. Does it get better?

Hello, I am finding it really difficult atm to be a mum. I feel like I'm not enjoying it. I am always tired. I don't have time to get myself ready anymore. I feel so low all of the time. I feel awful cause i often think i should just leave and let my son and his dad be happy without me. I feel they would be happier ...

My son’s dad treated me awful. Cheating, manipulative, narcissistic, pathological liar, etc. out 4 years together I did nothing but fight for a dead relationship and cry. After a year of being broken up, why do I still miss him? I don’t want to be with him anymore but sometimes I miss him.

My husband doesn’t show physical or emotional support.I crave these , I feel l am alone ..

I know it'll pass as some days have been much better than other but wanted to see if anyone can relate. I'm a FTM and compared to what I see online I feel a bit of a failure. I feel like I can't get anything done in the day, always rushing around, I worry I'm not interacting with my baby enough and can barely find t...

I have 8 week old twin girls. I’ve really struggled with the adjustment and just being a mum in general. Suffered quite badly with PPD and luckily found support. However, finding two babies still so so challenging every second of the day. From feeding, to burping, to sleeping. Both are so different and hard to mana...

I'm a first time mum and never saw this as my journey for pregnancy. Its lonely. I have no friends or family near, everyone says to have comfort from being pregnant but as much as I am I feel heartbroken

I know a lot of people that lives off benefits and I wonder how they do it? Not that I wanted to do it but people that have a back pain can even be classed as “disabled” and get benefits! I think is getting out of control

I hate how annoyed I can get when my child doesn't go to sleep or wakes up too early. He's clearly frustrated that he can't sleep and then km frustrated with him. I have no support. I feel so alone sometimes.

How is everyone’s mental health lately with everything going on?

Hi is anyone else feeling very sad & down still? I feel happy with my kids but going through a rough patch in my relationship which is not helping at all, It’s my 2nd bub so maybe i’m just not coping well with the overload & lack of help. Or maybe hormones? Anyone else feeling like sad alot? Thanks 🙏🏽

I know I’m not alone in this but is anyone else just finding this age so difficult, I sometimes dread waking up because I just think what’s it going to be today! Everything is no, everything is a battle, tantrums over absolutely anything; things I can’t even see coming to try and prevent! I’m just finding myself los...

I am tired of feeling alone , I live alone I just had a baby I have some what a support system but most of the time I just always feel alone

Lies to make me look bad. And type that will start crying if you tell them to leave you alone so it makes it look like you're the bad one. How can I tell them where to go without starting world war 3?
