I'm so depressed. I had depression before I got pregnant, but like....this is something else. I'm lonely. I don't feel seen or heard. I don't have a good support system and I don't have any friends. That's why I downloaded this app. I havent had any luck so far. I feel like I'm literally screaming into the void and ...

Why does the mania never last as long as the depression with bi polar?? 😴

My husband is having to travel out of the country for a week for a sick family member and it will be the first time I have been alone with baby for this long. We have pretty much done everything 50/50 up until now. We don’t have much of a support network here so any tips on solo parenting for the week would love! My...

I am a single mum & stay at home mum, I take my LG out most days to go out and about but I do find myself stuck on my phone when we don’t go out & I feel immensely guilty for this. I find it difficult to do imaginary play, etc and I don’t have a village around me to see most days. I do everything by myself, and try ...

I am a FTM and feel so lonely. The only people around my area are my in-laws and my husband works very long hours (only see him when we sleep) so I feel like I’m only communicating with a baby and would do anything for some company. All of my support network lives far away and my in-laws I’d rather keep a distance f...

I have two children and always feel judged whilst I struggle to chase after my girls to make sure they don’t get hurt or hurt someone whilst all the mums have a coffee relax and give me evils never a smile never a warm welcome just me?

I have a 7 month old and I genuinely miss my old life. I love my daughter so much and feel like I hit my lifetime jackpot goal with meeting my fiancé and having a child as I never thought this life was written for me. BUT… I was happier in myself before I had my daughter. And I struggle to see how Ill be genuinely h...

I feel like an awful mum. I feel like when my babies awake, I’m always chasing free time but when she’s asleep, it’s only then I realise how much I miss her. I feel like sometimes I’m just waiting time to be lazy, when I should be soaking up those beautiful moments

What is everyone's ideal work environment? Coming up to a career decision and wondering how everyone else feels towards work. I'm in my early 30s if that makes a difference. 1) same job for a long time where you know exactly what you're doing, it's not stressful, you know and like the team etc. 2) a different job ...

First time mum and my beautiful girl is 6 weeks on Saturday. However... I have been feeling quite alone and wondered if this is normal / the hormones at the moment. It can lead to me feeling quite emotional. For context my husband is back to work. Any tips to help with this. Thank you ♥️

I’m having my first child and am incredibly anxious about the “takes a village” stance. it’s just me and my husband I don’t have much reliable friends no o...

I know it says it’s very common during pregnancy, but I don’t remember feeling this alone when I was pregnant with my angel baby. I love my husband and know he will be a great dad but I feel a lot of times I’m on this journey by myself. I’m doing my best to not take it out on him but then I worry baby is feeling the...

How do you not end up bitter or hateful. The more I realize that I’m on my own and every vacation, date, and weekend will be with my kids the more I hate the world and my family. How do I not become an angry person? Don’t get me wrong my kids are my world but I didn’t know having them meant I would never get an alon...

Hey, does anyone else find mat leave really lonely? Now my baby's not newborn anymore none of my friends seem interested in seeing us.

Sorry for the long post. I feel so lonely since my 5th month has started. I moved to the country 3 years ago, I have no family nor friends here. I kept crying the entire last two weeks, now I have diverted my mind. But I can't digest the feeling that I have literally no one especially missing my mom deeply around ...

It’s so exhausting & lonely at times

Fellow mummies and mummies to be… I’m not single, not by choice, how on earth do you managed? It’s been just over a week and I’m finding ring pregnant and the idea of being a single mum so overwhelming! I’m 15w2d.

Hey everyone, I’m 9 months PP and I’m just struggling so hard with self love and just any kind of acknowledgement to myself. I struggle a lot with comparing myself to other people and it strips away any feeling I have about the good things about me. I’m always focused on making sure my son is okay, new clothes, happ...

Anyone else at 3 months pp? I know I love my baby but I just don’t feel that connection. I also feel very distant from my partner but that has always been the case since we’ve had a lot of issues between us.
