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

Hi mums ✨ a bit of a vent… Has anyone not had a great relationship with family before having a bubba? now all of a sudden , you have family grilling you about not hearing or seeing your child?? … ive lived on my own since 15. my parents would barely ever (almost never) contact me & constantly felt i was the fail...

Why is it so lonely being a mum. Is it me?

I deal with anxiety and depression. Being a mom and a wife is mentally draining. I wish I could leave for a month when I need. It's difficult to know thats not an option as a mom, because it's not good for baby or my finances.

Anyone else’s bd just leave because they be got the wrong end of the stick and their friends stark your Facebook so they’ve ended things with you for no reason other than them being stupid and misunderstood the situation. So now my whole life complelty has fallen through and I feel like utter shite because alls I wa...

I have been wanting to get a parttime job to get out of the house. Both jobs I've applied for had me do 2 interviews, but didn't get either of them. It has bummed me out. I started my own business and I can't get anyone to be models. I'm trying to sell items on poshmark, but it won't allow me to do live shows at thi...

I have 4 month old baby and i just feel lonely all the time. I had difficult pregnancy so i was signed off work the whole time and its now one year i’ve been staying home and although my baby keeps me busy i just feel lonely all the time. My husband works 12 hour shifts and i am the only one within my friend circle ...

Have such mum guilt.. I just feel I don’t do enough with my little one. I don’t drive and suffer with bad anxiety so we don’t go out very much during the week (do try to at weekends with my partner and make the most of it) just feel like my little girl is stuck inside and bored 😔

Everything I read or hear is just new mums loving life. I go to baby groups and everyone seems to be pretty happy. If I’m honest as much as I absolutely love my baby to bits I also really hate the days they are so long and I’m just really fed up. I cry approximately 3 times each day and just don’t feel I’m loving it...

I’ve been really struggling with feeling lonely recently. My partner is so supportive and is always there for me. I’m 28 weeks pregnant. I’m not originally from Manchester but I’ve been here for 3 years now. I live about 3 and half hours away from my family. I don’t have many friends in Manchester, I find it reall...

I was able to finally get my baby daddy out my apartment and I can’t be happier than ever about it. The place feels weird now and it’s only gonna feel like that but I know that I did this for the better, even when he was here I was still the single mom I am now. I’m happy but I also feel weird, men are scary in so m...

Lately I've been so depressed...I feel so alone. I try to push through the days only to realize my days will be the same. I have no friends, barely any family. I work I come home and I know I should be grateful because there's people in worse situation than me. What can I do to shake this, sometimes I wish I wasn't ...

Because so often it's someone who NEEDS to hear the truth but when you're honest, they say you're being negative. Like okay girl, why even ask for help when you only want your own thoughts and opinions validated???

I swear I end up hating myself after …. When I finally have adult interaction I over share and then think damn I should’ve kept that to myself no one needs to know that kinda feeling it’s horrible I’ve lost myself in mother hood that I forgot how to talk to other adults

Hello.. I have been in Kenosha, WI for almost 8 years.. I have no mom friends or friends period. I have a baby girl who is 3.5 months which I love to death but I am LONELY 😔 I also had a friend that I was close with for a while until I got pregnant.. but she didn’t matter anyway because she would treat me like I…

I wanted to be different and go to a football game with some family and they told me they were leaving half time and I rode with them and they ended up staying the whole game I’m a hour away from home they had my talking across the field after the game and walking 2blocks to parking 😭😂 I’m hurting but in my head…

What do you tell yourself to help you heal it? (She loves my child but shows no interest in anything about me. Since childhood. I have to live with her today due to a difficult dv situation but I am miserable and can't afford my onw place)

My BF is a truck driver and often times he will be away for 2-3 weeks at a time then comes home for only two days. I moved to Texas (his home state) I don’t know anyone here nor have any family here. Being alone has been hard on me mentally and physically. If you have any suggestions on how to feel better about t...

Hey ladies, I’m new to this group! I’ve been struggling with depression since I had my son nearly 5 years ago.. some days are harder than others but would be nice to have others to talk to and give each other support and advice. I might start up a group chat on WhatsApp or Snapchat, let me know if your interested ❤️

Not a sympathy post but I have nobody. I’m a mum with 2 boys no one to speak to I’m so lonely. Honestly…I even drive and don’t do anything 😂 So if your in Tameside area and want to either go baby groups or stuff like that then just let me know. As my mum says I’m going to go insane if I don’t get out and socialise,…
