Feeling so lonely, like I have no supportive friends

My hearts hurting. I had a close friend since I was 12 and we grew up together. She’s now pregnant as well as I am and I would’ve thought we would’ve been on this journey together and it just seems like she doesn’t even want me in her life anymore. I feel like I have no one. I just want true valuable friends. I feel...

Feeling super sad and alone right now. I know I don’t have it the worst at all but I’m struggling with motherhood. I have no family around-they live in another country. The days with my daughter can be very tough and lonely.

Feeling sad and jealous that my motherhood journey so far is what feels the majority of the time alone. When I see my friends that have kids they have their family around for help and company and I just feel like they are having such a different experience to me. My husband works long hours and so most of the time ...

Lonely

Today has been a hard day. My mom died 18 years ago today and I was really sad. My husband saw me crying and in a condescending tone said I’m sorry you’re so miserable. He knows every year around this is hard for me but he’s been being an ass b/c the last couple of weeks I haven’t been in the mood to have sex but he...

Help

I don’t really know where to start. The doctors said I needed some talking therapy but I’m not good at talking face to face. I’ve always been a up and down kind of person, but since loosing my nan 3 years ago everything has gone out the window. I was angry all the time and I wouldn’t take it out on everyone else. T...

Is it just me?

Am I the only one who constantly checks the backseat when I finally go somewhere without the kids? Like somehow they snuck in and I didn’t know or maybe in my postpartum brain fog, I strapped one of the kids in and forgot and oops there they are when I come out of the store!! Like I finally get to be alone and also ...

Loneliness?

Nobody told me how isolating and lonely pregnancy can be. Of course I have my boyfriend but it’s not quite the same as having people who have been/are going through it too.

Proud of myself

I left my 9-5 job that I didn't like anymore (yet I had no choice but to leave because of my situation, to now owning my own business and being in college for the first time. I think I'm doing good but I feel like it can be better ❤️

I want to disconnect

I feel an immense need to go stay in a tiny cottage in the forest without a phone for a 30-day minimum. I only want to speak with animals and plants the entire time. But, alas, I am a mother, and young people need me. 💁🏻‍♀️😩 Seriously, though. I want to completely disconnect from everyone and everything. I need a…

Having a moment bc I married for love and not for money 😂 no but seriously , I’m married, 31 with 2 kids, making the most I’ve ever made in my career, still renting bc we’ll never be able to afford to buy a home in this economy.

I just feel like a joke, I feel like many people do, how we were fed lies growing up about how to do life a certain way and I did and here we are broke af but making the most we’ve ever made in our careers. Ugh….and to think it could get worse???

Feeling very lost

We are 5 days pp and I am so lost. I feel like I prepared so well, read every book, listened to all the podcasts etc. and now I can’t even get my head around what kind of schedule were meant to have with baby. It’s like I know absolutely zero, running on pure instinct (which makes me feel like I’m wrong at every tur...

Anyone else feel the same?

Hi guys, does anyone get mum guilt over their children’s friendships? Social media is full of mums meeting up with their children, yet we have spent the majority of half term just us as a family. Really would love to find some friends for my 7 and 4 year old.

How do you feel about receiving advice? Ex; You are expressing a difficult situation but you didn't ask for the advice.
