I think I'm on the brink of a meltdown. I have a stupid habit of bottling problems up and it's smacking me in the arse for it. My own fault. Does anyone have any advice on how to get it out if your really bad at talking? I also cry when I'm angry 😂

Anyone feeling a little isolated? Prob struggling because of the hormones but it’s my first pregnancy after a couple of failed ivf attempts (third time lucky). Didn’t tell anyone this time round and it’s hard worrying about mc and also nervous about what’s to come and what’s happening in my body. Work from home a lo...

It feels to me like there are so many Mums doing it alone, feeling lonely and isolated - wanting to make friends but finding it impossible. No support network nearby. Feeling isolated. Just wondering, who feels like this?

Is anyone here as first time mom comfortable leave your baby to someone (family or friends) for half of the day?

Hi ladies just joined on here. Have birth to a little boy Arlo over a week ago. I feel so isolated and lonely. I have no family support and limited friends. The dad doesn’t want to know i just wanted to reach out

Anyone else’s depression hit an all time low 😭

I literally get so irritated when someone wants to come over (stress cried upstairs the other day), baby is one week old today and people (immediate family) come over try to wake him up or get annoyed that he’s not awake I’m like he sleeps 2-3 hours and is awake for about 45 mins… that is newborns! 😫

Anyone else feel like everything in the house is disgusting even if you deep clean every day?😂 I felt the same way when pregnant with my first child and it's so frustrating. I'm grateful that it's forcing me to get some type of physical activity, but it's so annoying to clean and still feel like you need to just…

I don’t know why I’m posting this. I just feel like I need to say it somewhere. I’m just so lonely & over the last couple of weeks it’s been weighing heavy. I was so social in my 20’s. I left a toxic relationship when I was 26, met someone new and moved to his town where I’d also secured a new job. But it’s only 4...

I feel so lonely and isolated. Our son is medically complex, has cerebral palsy, and physically disabled. When I’m not working, most of my time is spent either caring for him, taking him to his numerous appointments, or caring for our other child. I have no one, but my husband, to talk to. Family members help, but I...

Hey everyone! Is anyone else finding parenthood and life really hard right now? I honestly feel like no matter what i do, it isn’t good enough.. I’m really struggling with the fact my children are catching every single bug going, theres not a week when there isn’t something wrong with at least one of my children.....

‘ Also, there’s essentially no chance you’ll have to show proof you didn’t make a profit.’ I don’t get what no chance means?

Did you any else do all the baby groups but completely fail to make any mum friends? I wanted to make mum friends but am very interverted and struggled to make any. Most of the mums are leaving to go back to work now so I feel like I'm missed my opportunity, anyone had a similar experience?

Does anyone wake up feeling like they have a long and lonely day ahead of them? I am so grateful for my daughter but obviously she can’t talk to me and is often moaning and crying at the moment so it can feel quite hard sometimes.

I’ve honestly never felt so lonely, sad & excluded from friendships groups & it’s always summer when it happens. No invites , no messages to go out or even visit. Nothing. Todays obviously the Euro’s I have childcare so it’s not even a thing - I’ve just seen a group photo of all the girls I was once included all out...

I recently lost my mom and more than ever I feel alone , lost without her 😔

Hi there, I’m a 22 year old FTM to an almost 2 year old now and I’m also actively trying to conceive my second child but I have become a lot more isolated and could really do with some mum friends as everyone who I thought was my friend has ghosted me or just sort of drifted away and now I don’t really talk to anyon...

Single moms with no village check in please 😓 I am tired of feeling so alone !!

Is it normal to feel lost. Like I don’t know this feeling! I don’t do anything unless it’s with my baby and I’m finding that really difficult mostly because of statutory maternity and even just time 😭. Is anyone else feeling a bit not themselves recently?

Guys I just broke up with my baby daddy and am looking for a friend / someone to cry to 😭 yes ik I’m desperate but ya girl is going through it, had to take my son to his grandparents just so I can cry tn lmao
