Anyone in the same boat? Going through all alone in a state where I don't know anyone, just need someone to talk to that can relate I feel so alone and helpless.

And they use that as time to throw in your face that you never go over there...🤦‍♀️ I do btw just easier at my house ad i have a 2 year old &it's much not kid friendly.

Sometimes I just really feel like I can be doing a better job at being a mother. This job is not easy, i find myself losing my patience more and more and i really don’t want to be an impatient mommy. I want my kids to feel the love and patience. I want them to know I’m not always tired or in a bad mood. I’m at a los...

Hi all, my little boy is nearly 4 weeks old and I have to say I'm struggling with the life adjustment. My husband has gone back to work and the house just feels so quiet. I'm finding it frustrating that the majority of my day is spent on the sofa feeding and I'm feeling quite lonely. I also find all the night feeds ...

I’m feeling really low at the moment, I literally wake up every morning with dread for another day. I struggle when my partner has to go to work, I feel so lonely 😭 I’ve always felt strong like I can keep it together but recently just struggling so much. I feel so lonely and isolated, the only one proper friend I…

I've been broken up from my child's father for about 9 months now (felt like earlier than that) and I feel like everyone around me is in a seemingly happy relationship, even having another baby. I never had this feeling but I do get really down and jealous when I hear of news like that. Am I alone in this?

How can I get better af self esteem.

I don’t want to lose this fight. I’m trying to hold on. I’m fighting. I made an appointment with a new therapist, hoping things are better this time. I’m also finally going to consider taking antidepressants. I just don’t want to gain weight, and I know that’s a common side effect for some. I’m hoping I can find som...

I don’t regret having my boy the only thing is I wish I waited and went and done stuff I wanted to do before having a family is this normal because I love my little man would do anything but just feel like maybe I’m a rubbish mum for feeling like this

Feeling so deflated lately, I feel like my fiance is my only ‘friend’ and our relationship isn’t great right now. I have 0 girl friends it seems and no one to talk to. A friend of mine I reconnected with after having our first babies, has gone a bit MIA recently. We have an ongoing chat but sometimes it takes weeks ...

Hello, my therapist gave me homework to go do something by myself. To have some me time with out thinking about everything that needs to be done.

Why does no one prepare you that you will lose most of your friends after becoming a mom? I feel so alone lately. It’s even worse knowing my ex is doing whatever he wants while I raise our son by myself after all the abuse and trauma he put me through pregnant.

Like do you stay organized for what you need to buy, to schedule, to order and more. It's a lot to keep in my brain.

Is anyone else super clingy towards there significant other right now? I love being around my husband but recently started to feel tense when he’s not in the same room as me. I want him as close as possible all the time.

Do you ever feel like life has no purpose? Do you ever feel so lonely and feel like this is your forever life? I love being home with my kids but I can’t see the light at the end of the tunnel here. I’m struggling!

Let it out and be heard

Not sure what I’m saying of asking here but wondered if anyone felt like they’ve spent all their 20s, 30s working towards having a family and being used to having barriers along the way. But then after this, I’m going to be in my late 30s and it will be weird without having a child being my main focus. Obviously loo...

My partner works lates so I do the evenings (2-11pm) with my baby alone. I really really struggle… I feel like she’s happy to play for about 15 mins and then she’s had enough and cries for the rest of the 1 hour and 45 minute wake window. I try to put her down for a nap and she just cries so then I take her downstai...
