If there was one thing you could change about yourself, what would it be?

I’m 36 weeks and I’m feeling more alone than ever. This is my last week of work, my relationship with my husband feels so strained, I’m exhausted, my toddler isn’t sleeping well. I’m so scared of post partum if I am already feeling so low and alone

Does anyone struggle with anxiety and panic? How do you manage it without having to take medication? Lately I have been struggling bad and I refuse to take medication because my panic is so bad that I end up having panic attacks when I take it. I have therapy but I need advice & tips on how to manage this because it...

Considering everything that is going on in the country right now, well generally the world, I know it could be worse. I just feel sad. The first person I felt a real connection with after my divorce and they broke up with me. I just feel sad. Putting yourself out there is hard.

Hi mommies I am feeling a bit wired , well my baby is going to be 3 months and today first. Time I went to baby’s group . It was nice for my baby to see other baby of his age . But I feel a bit wired for me . There were all ladies older than me ( am 23 ) . And no one literally feeling to talk with me . I felt bad in...

Hi everyone , not sure as to the point to this post , I guess I’m just feeling a little bit lonely. I don’t have many mum friends at all. I have an almost three year old and a one year old. My daughter (aged 3) goes to nursery three half days a week so I would like some thing for me and my son to do. I don’t have pe...

I understand ppl have lives n get busy but it's starting to be a constant thing . Whenever she needs to vent im there for her . I've given her kids clothes, milk...

I love my little one so much but I’m missing my old life a lot. Today has been a particularly hard day and I’ve cried multiple times and just keep thinking how easy life was before!

Lately I have been struggling with feeling just utterly alone. I have some Friends but it feels like they really don’t care about the certain situations my family and myself are going through. No one calls no one texts.. I’m the first one to always check in and listen to them but they are never there for me. My husb...

Having a tough day with my body image today where I don’t recognise the larger body I’m in now. I know I’ve done amazing things having 2 kids but feeling very low. Does anyone have any good quotes or have any uplifting people they follow on insta that will help bring me back up please?

Anyone ever given birth without a birthing partner? Currently sat in tears as our childcare for my son can no longer help and my husband will have to take care of him and I go in alone. I'm absolutely terrified and heartbroken.

I just can’t do it anymore. I don’t want my kids around me. I have no help.

Does anyone else find being pregnant makes them feel a bit lonely? Neither of my parents are particularly supportive or interested, and I lost three grandparents that I was close to last year. For some strange reason pregnancy seems to be exacerbating my loss / sadness / grief. Or magnifying the important relatio...

I'm 8 months pp, and love my baby more than anything in the world, but, I've been really struggling with feeling guilty for missing some of the freedom I had before the baby. I miss being able to go out and have fun and not worry about coming home before bedtime or the lack of sleep that comes with having a baby. An...

Looking to add a quote to this…couldn’t do a poll because character limit 👎 let me know in the comments! Love the contrast to the peaceful mountain scape and the slap stick commentary. 🤪 1. Y’all mind if I do some lollygaggin? 2. Too many choices, I’ll just sit here & do nothing. 3. “Who hurt you…” Me bitch, I…

I recently split from th3 father of my 2 kids. Moved back to my parents and now have no one to vent to about my situation add me let's be friends

We have decided to just have one baby for lots of different reasons and it is absolutely right for us to not have any more but I can't help feeling guilty. I worry he will be lonely. When I see him playing on his own I feel bad. He is such a happy boy and very sociable. He goes to nursery 4 mornings a week and we ar...

I have no idea why God gave me children knowing how much i enjoy being alone. i mean yeah i dip and dab with their father time to time. we’re in a committed relationship but he knows i like my space…but these kids are always around me and always noisy. what was so wrong with me being alone?? i didn’t want to party o...

Hey! I have two little ones - my eldest will be 3 in December and my little one is 1 this month! I’ve noticed my circle getting smaller and smaller since I had kids and I genuinely feel very lonely a lot of the time. I don’t do well on my own and really get into my head but I’m also a little bit shy and socially...

Yall… I’m really struggling… I’m not enjoying being a mom. I feel terrible saying this but I need to say it, I am not enjoying life. I understand we’re supposed to go through some difficult times, our kids will stress us out, and there will be some frustrating days… But I feel like it’s every day. I feel like the mo...
