My mind cannot stop thinking of the worst possible things/intrusive thoughts - is there a way to manage this that has helped anyone? Thanks in advance

Do you ever crave being alone? Like just you - no baby, no hubby? I literally day dream about solitude sometimes and feel bad because I prayed for this life I have now - but there’s times I just want to be by myself.

My daughter is 19 months and is in the tantrum phase of life. I am at wits end with everything honestly. When I say I get no help, i genuinely mean it. I have no friends near me as they have either moved away or lost contact with me. I live 5 hours away from all family. I don't need help all the time, but god man,...

is it bad that i'd love to have some mom freinds but i find it hard to actually connect.. i had friends before i had my babies but they are all gone now and i feel so lonely..any other moms feel the same way ?

So I’m finally will be moving away from my abusive partner but is it weird I feel so sad I have such a big heart I’m hurt because I know he has no where to go and no family for help but I have to do what’s best for me and my son ( I’m tired of him hitting me and arguing with me calling me all types of names and etc.)

Hiya girls - I’m looking for some advice & to use this as abit of an outlet. I’m 30 weeks with my first baby & you always here a lot of things about being lonely the first few years of having your baby and I can honestly say I’m really really worried of feeling alone. I have a wonderful family support network ar...

Morning glory 😁😁😁 like most, I was advised to join this app for friendship and advice. Advice is brilliant. But has anyone found since they have fallen pregnant, they have lost some friends and family along the way, feeling a little bit lonely? I am a full-time social worker, so I work hard during the week and…

How do y’all survive no contact ???😭💔

I think I just need to say it, I feel like no one cares anymore. I feel like life in general is harder and more sad even than it was 10/20/30 years ago. There is no help. I hate it. This is not a job for one. But I also get it. I mean if I didn't have this life how much would I really give up to help someone else ei...

My little one is 2 years 7 months. Although able to settle alone, they suddenly need me again to fall asleep. It's all 'mummy, mummy' and not wanting anything to do with dad, following me around as if I'm going to disappear (he does go to full time childcare). Is this a phase? Will it continue to be me me me?

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...

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...
