I can't stop the sadness and loneliness. They're horrendous. I know it just means I loved my baby. But it's so damn hard.

I have a 5 month old and I feel so lonely during the day when my partner is at work because there's not a lot to do. How do other mums cope?

Is it just me or is being a full time stay at home mom really hard sometimes especially when you have no friends to talk to. Being a stay at home mom full time has its good moments but for me it also has its depressing moments as well. I really think having a friend I could just text and reach out to would help a lot

If one more blog, influencer, or book tells me to wake up 15 minutes earlier for self-care, I'm going to scream. 😤 That advice just doesn’t work for me. And honestly, I don’t think it’s practical for most moms either. Every extra minute of sleep is precious—sleep is self-care! My belief is this: self-care…

I am very happy to spend every day taking care of my baby. I love the quality time and being able to meet his every need. I am grateful to be a SAHM, but sometimes, especially after 10m, I miss working? I miss being around people every day and interacting with guests at work. I miss the creative outlet my work provi...

Anyone free for a chat? Little one has just turned a month old and I can’t shake these feelings of sadness all the time. I’m barely sleeping, even when little one sleeps, I find myself just wide awake even though I’m so tired. I’m starting to feel like the worst mum. I don’t want to talk about this to anyone I know ...

I start my new job tomorrow 🎉🎉 I don't have much friends and just wanted to post it here for some encouragement 💝 My partner is emotionally abusive and I'm in the process of leaving him, he has beaten me today because he knows tomorrow I start work so when big changes happen for me he will find a reason to beat me…

Anyone else’s friends just seem to have fallen off the face of the earth since having 2 kids. When I had my first we still chatted and saw people regularly. Now my second is nearly 3 months old and someone I thought was my best friend just isn’t bothered about seeing us. when we make plans she cancels at the last mi...

Am I wrong for enjoying a night away from my baby? I have friends who would never seperate from their babies despite being really worn out and exhausted. If I get a night to myself I almost feel guilty for enjoying it, but I think I am a better mum if I am in a good headspace myself. I feel like some mums make you f...

Anyone else feel like they are not meant to be a mom. Like it's everything you have always wanted, but your not the mom you want to be. I find myself snapping at the littlest things, like my daughter having an pee accident. Or her getting upset when I try to brush her hair. And I just go straight to ahhh. Like I kno...

My little one is currently 7 weeks old and I'm struggling a bit. When I had my older kids who are all teenagers now I had my mum and sisters for support. These days my mum has health issues and my sisters are all working full time so I don't have the support network that I used to have. I'm struggling a bit ATM ...

Does anybody else struggle to get out in the mornings at the moment? Feels like such a challenge with little one not letting me change her and being super clingy and just wanting to sit and cuddle with the tv on. I’m just feeling guilty and like a bad Mum that I can’t get us out.

Hi, I am sick of feeling so low and depressed, I feel like my family don’t wanna know me or be in my company anymore🙈 we went to a family party on Saturday and when my sister and the kids left I was left sitting alone the whole night as my sister took my wee girl with her, and my son was with his dad ❤️ I just felt…

I’m so depressed. I have a 3yo and 1yo. I have been unemployed for 4 months due to wanting to look after my kids and also I can’t afford childcare. I used to have savings (not a lot but good amount) but that’s all gone. I have been working since I was 16. And now I’m struggling so bad. I feel so ashamed and em...
