Client: “…I’ve already read that book and listened to his podcast. Honestly, I know all the self-help stuff, Darcel… I’m just not sure what’s missing….” Me: “Okay, babe…That’s great you know all of that AND ALSO….It’s never been a lack of knowledge or confidence for you—it’s deeper than that. The missing piece is i...

I tend to overthink things so feel free to reel me back in in a respectful manner please. Personally just didn't like the no response on the other message and not asking if I'm free tomorrow.

I normally hate complaining, and rarely do, but I am so freaking tired. Been a single parent since my baby was 5 months (She’s now 4), and I have no Village, no support, no breaks, no nights out, no life, no friends, just work, school pickup/drop offs, working overtime to keep up with bills, sleep, repeat. I feel l...

My mind cannot stop thinking of the worst possible things/intrusive thoughts - is there a way to manage this that has helped anyone? Thanks in advance

Do you ever crave being alone? Like just you - no baby, no hubby? I literally day dream about solitude sometimes and feel bad because I prayed for this life I have now - but there’s times I just want to be by myself.

My daughter is 19 months and is in the tantrum phase of life. I am at wits end with everything honestly. When I say I get no help, i genuinely mean it. I have no friends near me as they have either moved away or lost contact with me. I live 5 hours away from all family. I don't need help all the time, but god man,...

is it bad that i'd love to have some mom freinds but i find it hard to actually connect.. i had friends before i had my babies but they are all gone now and i feel so lonely..any other moms feel the same way ?

So I’m finally will be moving away from my abusive partner but is it weird I feel so sad I have such a big heart I’m hurt because I know he has no where to go and no family for help but I have to do what’s best for me and my son ( I’m tired of him hitting me and arguing with me calling me all types of names and etc.)

Morning glory 😁😁😁 like most, I was advised to join this app for friendship and advice. Advice is brilliant. But has anyone found since they have fallen pregnant, they have lost some friends and family along the way, feeling a little bit lonely? I am a full-time social worker, so I work hard during the week and…

How do y’all survive no contact ???😭💔

I think I just need to say it, I feel like no one cares anymore. I feel like life in general is harder and more sad even than it was 10/20/30 years ago. There is no help. I hate it. This is not a job for one. But I also get it. I mean if I didn't have this life how much would I really give up to help someone else ei...

My little one is 2 years 7 months. Although able to settle alone, they suddenly need me again to fall asleep. It's all 'mummy, mummy' and not wanting anything to do with dad, following me around as if I'm going to disappear (he does go to full time childcare). Is this a phase? Will it continue to be me me me?

Hey, I’m going to post anonymously on this one, how do you stop feeling so lonely when you’ve got a nearly 15 month old 🥺 I feel I’ve got no one to talk too while everyone else is at work during the day.. someone shine some light please 🩷 xx
