Hello, I just feel so lonely and alone. I’m so tired of doing everything alone with no fun in life. Everything is on me, what we do today, where we go, on top of being a single parent. I have no family or friends to do anything with and it’s really getting to me 😢

Anyone else grieving their old body/life. Don’t get me wrong I’m so ready to meet my baby girl and beyond great full for her.

My husband and I are currently separated. I’m on a journey of recovery due to his unfaithfulness and trying to work on my relationship with God during our time apart.

I'm feeling a bit isolated in my love for the outdoors. It's tough finding friends who share the same passions nearby. While my husband joins occasionally, it's clear he's not as into it & just trying to give me the company I'm seeking. I deeply appreciate his efforts, but it's not quite the same. Most days, I end u...

Any other single mums out there so bored of an evening. Don't get me wrong I'm totally happy on my own but my nights are so dull!

Just a reminder. You’re beautiful, make sure you tell yourself that. You made a human(s) from SCRATCH. Don’t let anyone take that away from you. I’m always here to listen and support YOU 🩶

I’ve felt like this for a long time but it’s gradually getting worse.. I do suffer with depression and anxiety and other mental health conditions too, but I literally feel like my brain is melting or degrading each day I wake up. I get NO pleasure, happiness, excitement or stimulation from absolutely anything or any...

Not sure what I mean by this. I don’t think I’m down or depressed but I just don’t feel like myself. Anyone else able to elaborate or normalise this feeling 18 months into motherhood?

Hey mamas. I’m feeling like a terrible mom because i am 9 weeks pregnant with my second and do not feel attached or connected to this baby at all. I know that sounds awful. We are happy and excited but I felt so much more connected with my son when I was this early on. Is this normal? Has anyone else experienced thi...

I feel like us as women need to create a little group where we take turns watching eachothers children so mama can go out and do wh...

Does anyone else feel quite lonely? I’ve always been pretty happy in my own company and obviously I now have my baby for company but sometimes the days can feel so long. It feels a bit like I’ve been forgotten about by everyone. Family are retired but make very little effort to see us unless I arrange it with them a...

Just need some place to vent tbh. Me and my fiancée are splitting up and I’m having to move back in with my parents with my 2 year old. I feel like a loser, I feel like why did I ever get myself in this situation? Lots of mental and physical abuse and I just can’t stay any longer. I’m also a stay at home mom so I ha...

My friends are all taken and it gets lonely, anyone in the same boat? How it everyone finding being a single Mum? How does everyone cope with keeping on top of things? Xxx

I live in a really isolated place / small town and there isn’t much to do here unless you have friends which I don’t… Since giving birth 9 weeks I rarely leave my house unless it’s just for errands or my babies grandparents which is a highlight in my life right now! But I’d feel bad going there all the time special...

I lost myself in my marriage! I really want to re-discover myself and figure out who I am again. Not just a mum or a wife.

I am 25 and I had my son who is my first baby in March. Since then my friends have no really bothered with me via visits, calls or even texts. Moved in with my partner 6 months before I got pregnant which is a 45 minute joinery which I completely understand seeing as I live far away now. Had anyone else experience...

I had my son a little under a year and a half ago. I feel like my style never came back. I realized I’ve gained weight again. My clothes don’t fit.
