I feel so much grief about how quickly time is passing. My baby is 5 months now and I feel like time is flying. I have a pain in my heart that comes and goes, and it’s grief. It follows me around.

I’m so sad of being lonely. I’m a single mum and I have no friends or family around me. I can keep myself busy and distracted with my daughter but as soon as she’s gone to bed or is at her dads, I feel so lonely. It’s been 2 years of feeling like this and I’m exhausted from it. I no longer enjoy my hobbies anymore f...

Is it just me or does anyone else feel you kinda get pushed to the side a bit by everyone including your partner once you have a baby?

Is anyone else feeling extreme fatigue but still wishing to be out and about doing things. Maybe a bit of FOMO and loneliness- not sure what it is exactly for me so reaching out to see if others are feeling this way and anything they have found to help them.

Feeling extremely lonely and invisible this time around. Lost my Best Friend and have been feeling disconnected to my partner lately. Feel like I can’t talk to anyone and actually feel better these days.

I don't regret having my daughter, but getting married at 22 and suddenly getting pregnant literally three months after whilst still in education and being used to travelling and going out etc... Now being stuck inside singing row your boat... Not great. Only upside is my studies but I feel like I can't fully immers...

Can you feel your letdown?

I hate that I feel like I have no one to talk to! I just moved out to Minnesota for my man and all I have is him and his family (they don’t speak English and I don’t speak Spanish). It’s been about 2 months or going on 2 and I just think it’s really starting to get to me! I have a 3 almost 4 year old and I’m current...
