Lost friends.

Feeling really lonely of late, I've completely lost all of my social circles since becoming a full time SAHM, I've only recently quit working and even my ex colleagues that I've worked with for 9 years don't message back anymore. And my husband moans at me for offloading to him about my day, but I literally don't ha...

Celebrating pregnancy alone

I’ve just announced I’m pregnant with my second. Neither me or my partner have any family, I’ve told my close friends and non of them seem that bothered. I’m not expecting anyone to be over the moon as me, but I thought they may have shared in the excitement or asked questions. All I’ve had is a sort congrats and ...

Done

Today was a hard day. I needed to just get away from my kids and husband. I don't have any friends, isolated with no family to help. My husband has an outlet where he plays games. I don't have anything. I locked myself in my bedroom and just cried today. I was so overwhelmed with just everything. There are days when...

Anyone else noticing a difference in friendships/ struggling with social life.

I am probably hormonal but I’m feeling really hurt (stressed, upset, pissed off, annoyed - depending on the day) that some of my close friends aren’t acknowledging my pregnancy. I’m not expecting any special treatment but the odd mention that I’m literally in the home stretch would be nice. I don’t want to be the b...

A Reminder to Ask for Help: Everything is Easier with Support

🌟 Life is full of challenges, but it's important to remember that we don't have to face them alone. Asking for help is a sign of strength, not weakness. Just like how we are always there for our friends and loved ones when they need us, we should also feel comfortable reaching out for support when we need it.…

Germaphobe

I’m an extreme germaphobe. I’m trying not to project that onto my LO, but I find that I’m holding him so much because I don’t want him crawling on the floors. We’re going on vacation soon and my anxiety is through the roof because I know he’ll want to be on the hotel floors and I’m not sure where he can play 🥴. It…

Little rant

Any mommas feel like family members only come by to see you just for the baby and don’t ever ask about how you’re doing? It’s only like can I come and see the baby? I feel like some don’t acknowledge me it makes me feel sad and lonely. They want a relationship with my child but don’t make an effort to have one with ...

Mental load is real!

I feel tired of everything. I want to disconnect from my husband, my kids, my parents. Feel like I wanna run away and just be by myself to reset. Too much mental load. I feel drained.

Friends?

I'm pretty much in the house all day and have nobody to talk to. My mental health lately is starting to take a toll and I'm currently in between therapies right now. I've been feeling very lonely even though my son is home with me all day. Is there anyone who'd like to chat? Anyone closeby?

Feeling depressed

I woke up in a such a crabby mood today and I can't seem to shake it off. Some days I just want to feel like I can get up and not have to worry about anything. I often reminisce about what my life looked like before becoming a SAHM & wife. I used to be fun... I use to laugh and smile so much. Loved going out and ...
