i’ve having a really hard time with my body lately, and i’ve found that writing poetry helps me get my thoughts out while also allowing myself to view things from a different perspective. i wrote this poem on a day i was particularly having a hard time. i hope it helps a new mama out there experiencing the same! :) ...

I am single, first time mom. Feeling like I need to be strong all the time. A-lot of overthinking. I wish I had more supportive people in my life.

So I lost my job. My manager and I didn't like eachother much she would always impose "quizzes" on me I'm not good with quizzes my brain short circuits when I'm being forced to answer something. And she called me dumb for it in a way it can't backfire on her "It's not like your dumbb or anything" while rolling her e...

I have a 3 year old and now 1 year old twins.. I feel like I am just constantly drained and exhausted. My eldest had my full attention, I played with her all day, no/very limited screen time, all my attention, and she had a mum who also got a break! Now with twins too I can come back from an hour break and I feel li...

Anyone else literally have no one? I don’t mean a friend you speak to every few days,I mean literally NO ONE. My son is 3 now and I’ve struggled with this for a while. I’m not with my child’s father due to abuse of every kind, all my “friends” disappeared because I don’t smoke or drink anymore or they’ve tried to s...

Anyone else feeling single in a relationship? It feels like since we have had our 2nd child I'm doing everything alone & I'm starting to get tired of asking for help.

I’m 40 + 3 now and honestly I’ve never felt so lonely as I have these last few weeks. Just feel so emotional and isolated and just down 😔

Out of interest, what’s everyone up to this weekend? I feel like everyone around me always has these fun plans and I don’t know whether it’s because I don’t plan enough in advance, or whether the people around me just never want to do anything or anything with me that is. I thought having a baby people would be de...

This journey can be so lonely. Sometimes I can’t put my finger on why. I blame it on being the first in my friends / family having a baby. But it’s more than that?

I have a nearly two year old little girl who I love whole heartedly and I love being her mum but recently been feeling like iv lost who I am and I’m the only one out of my friends who has a baby,does anyone else feel like this?

Christmas and kids birthdays is the only thing you have to look forward to, no family or friends. You don’t do anything for yourself because you feel it’s a waste and say “kids could have it” “the money can go on them” “my childhood is over it’s the kids turn to enjoy” It’s hard when you’ve been viewed worthless gr...

Is anyone else feeling really low at the minute, I have a 6 week old and a 19 month old. I’m finding it so tough financially I’m eating into savings, just so I can give my kids the best. Does anyone else feel like they are just doing one day at a time because I feel like that

I am embarrassed to say this but I’m lonely at the moment and finding motherhood so overwhelming, my husband keeps brushing it off. We live near in Beith, looking to chat to people around the area or from further afield that like a group chat and helping each other through this crazy motherhood journey 😂 My…

How to I express that I don’t feel appreciated without criticizing and bitching?

It’s so frustrating. Sometimes I can’t tell if it’s my intuition or just anxiety.

And vice versa of course! Not your responsibility but if they said they wanted to keep up with something would you remind them or if they haven’t done something that makes them happy In a while would you remind them?
