Community Posts, Tips & Support on Mental Health

I have 2 too many. I run my into the ground with work, I'm in school. Got into an accident. Kids got kicked out of school been trying for CAPS got denied 3 times. Brother told me no one owes me anythin. I feel trapped with my kids. Wish I aborted some days just so I could have a day to myself. I feel invisible.

I’ve been home for days and no motivation to go out I only go out for groceries and laundry. But even then it feels like ghost town sometimes. Little to no interactions. And I just feel so alone and isolates with my baby. My bf works 65hrs a week and we barley spend time with him. Help!!! How do you guys make friend...

Hey mommas I have decided to make this group as a mum of a 10 year old, 7 year old, 3 year old and now a newborn (3 week old). You soon forget about those sleepless nights and the nights you’re up seeing every hour but when they are here they are super lonely! There’s nothing worse than seeing those streetlights...

Hello I'm 34w and feeling pretty lonely at the moment. I know that's why apps like this exist for us mums to connect. And I'm so grateful for it! This being said, I feel particularly in the last few months that people have been distancing themselves. My friends back home all had babies a few months to a year befor...

Anyone else feel like no one makes an effort to see your child/you since having a baby? Motherhood is lonely 🥺

How does everyone find time to get things done? I feel like I don’t have time for myself or anything fun between baby, work, and housework.

Is anybody else struggling with a lack of support from family and friends. My parents are obviously excited but only seem bothered about themselves they never check in to see how I am or how I’m getting on, if I say anything about symptoms or anything my mum says been there done that get over it. My sister doesn’...

I feel so unprepared for this baby, I already have 2 sons (one passed away at justover 1 month old)and a 2yr old but with both of them, I felt so much more prepared and organised, I feel like I have nothing for this baby. I feel like I'm drowning in all the stuff I need to do. Does anyone else feel like this?

How has anyone done it? I'm having such a hard time 😵‍💫

Does anyone else feel really lonely right now? I didn’t have a big circle of friends before falling pregnant but I think the fact that I’m only 21 and could meet people at uni or on nights out or through friends used to put me at ease. I loved and still love being social and I love to be out of the house. I’ve since...

Feel awful saying this but I sometimes wonder if I’m too selfish to have a child. I really miss having my time and just being able to do things alone. I love spending time with my LO but I do still miss parts of my life before them. Does anyone else feel like this ?

How are you coping? I’m struggling so bad.. I’m crying multiple times a day, and just at the point where I feel almost numb. Still got pretty severe postpartum depression and just struggling to function and be a mum. Feel like the worst mum in the world 24/7. I’m lonely.. I have 1 friend that I talk to daily but oth...

I’m not really an anxious person but I’m finding myself feeling stressed in public places and only feel safe at home or in my car. It’s heartbreaking that we have come to this, I’ve never felt like this.

I can’t hold a single thought around my kids at the minute, non stop bloody whinging and chaos causing. I want to curl up in to a ball and give up on life. I can’t function.

I’m very lucky to have a nanny to help me out with my 5 month old baby. However whenever she’s here I just feel so empty and useless. I go immediately into a zero motivation hole and just start scrolling my phone in bed. When she’s gone I’m motivated and busy taking care of my baby and family. Cleaning, cooking, s...

I have help and my partner is a great Dad but naturally as my baby’s mother it’s always me leading the way with everything. Only me who she will settle for, only me who can tell exactly what’s wrong with her, only me who gets up in the night etc etc. and I’m just finding it so overwhelmingly lonely. I’m so tired and...

I was anticipating baby being here by now, needless to say I am boreddd, what are we all doing to fill the days?

I’m grateful for life and all that I’m blessed with but honestly life is not easy!! Right now I would love to press pause and just breathe for a second…Who can relate?

Before I had my beautiful baby girl I had friends coming out of my ears, but since finding out and having her all of my friends have all slowly dropped off one by one and as a teen mum I find it harder on these types of apps to meet people and I honestly don’t know what to do anymore, I’m just finding motherhood so ...
