Has anyone lost friendships at the workplace once returning back from maternity leave . It’s been sad that I have lost but I also thought they would reach out to me & not me reaching out . Iv been struggling to realize maybe they were not even a friend to begin with .

Hello all.I'm just curious to know...Are there any SAHM's that masturbate to relieve the stress of SAHM life? 🥹🤭👀

Ladies, what do you do when you’ve entirely lost hope of ever being a Mum? Almost 2 years of nothing but negative tests. I met with a close friend and her baby this morning, and I drove home in tears feeling like I’ll never be a part of that world 🥺

Posting anonymous as I feel a bit embarrassed My LG is 4 months old and I love her more than anything and I know I’m never alone as I’m always with her. But the past few weeks I’ve felt so lonely. I have a great support network in both my family and friends but day to day they’re working. My partner is absolutely f...

My baby boy is almost 4 weeks old. So happy with him and my family of now 5. But does anyone else just feel lonely. Like all these “friends” that said would be there.. aren’t. Hardly any communication and just feel lost? I love being a Mum, always have done and always will. This time seems harder and not having th...

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.
