I’m on the EDGE OF MY SHIT

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.

Feeling depressed whenever nanny is about.

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...

Overwhelmingly lonely

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.

Anyone else struggle with loneliness?

I love my kids more than anything, but I feel so lonely. After I get them down at night, embarrassing to say, but it would be nice to have someone to hold and just sit on the sofa with. I had a conversation with a male friend recently who mentioned all these things he would do if he dated someone even though he is s...

Loneliness

Does anyone else feel super lonely since becoming a mummy? I love my LO so much but I honestly feel I am a full time mum, if my partner is not at work, he is online gaming or out seeing his friends, yet I don't have the freedom to do that. If I wanted to see anyone in the week, I'd have to bring my LO unless it's a ...

Clingy baby

Little boy has always been a bit clingy but I swear it's getting worse! Dad is always around, shower involved but joy literally only wants me. I leave the room he cries, I come back into the room where is happily playing with dad or big sister, he cries. He doesn't leave me alone. It's sweet but its exhausting. ...

Anyone else?

Sometimes I get so depressed I daydream about living a life completely different from mine. A life where a travel all over the world, or any scenario where I have no responsibilities at all and no one relying on me. A life much more spontaneous and exciting. It makes me feel like a POS and a failure to my daughter. ...
