Does anyone else feel sad and isolated, vulnerable and alone during pregnancy? It only started at about 20 weeks for me.

I thought I woul...

For the past two days, I’ve been feeling like my life has been in a constant loop. I’m a SAHM and ima be honest I haven’t had a moment just to decompress and find myself. For the past 2 years I’ve lost my identity and neglected myself because of it. I’m not looking for pity, I just want to be understood. I’ve tried ...

I miss feeling pretty, even like 2 years after I had my first son I still felt pretty. Now I hardly feel pretty even with makeup on it’s hard to feel beautiful and I hate it.
