If so what do you to help yourself?

I’m posting anonymously because honestly it’s embarrassing even making this post. I had my little one three months ago and I feel like from the moment I found out I got pregnant, my friends drifted away. I have little family and my parents are so absorbed in their own drama and problems they rarely talk to me. I’m i...

Do any of you ever get a break from being Mom. I love being a stay at home mom, but I *literally* never get a break from it. I am around my sons 25/8 I can't tell you when's the last time I went anywhere for myself. Me and my fiance have to beg people for help/breaks, but then it becomes a problem or inconvenience f...

My husband’s family doesn’t really care to show up for my daughter or me. They don’t text, they don’t ask how I’m doing, and they don’t come to visit/help. I’m feeling very alone. All my friends have drifted away, and the only person I have is my husband. I’m feeling really, really empty and lonely. Anyone going t...

Hello I love and care for my kids. At times I want time to myself then my kids keeps being my shadow

I love my babys with all my heart and I would do absolutely anything for them however I can’t help but always think to myself if I knew what I know now I wouldn’t have ever changed my mind about having kids, like I feel awful I don’t regret having them I mean my life would be awful without them but I miss the life I...

Life’s really lonely I have nobody to talk to. Sitting staring at walls I’m tired of this and crying for hours on end. I am pregnant and feel like I’m such a let down

Tell me this gets easier? All I want to do at the moment is cry, I’ve just moved house and feeling very isolated. 35 weeks and first time mum to be so beginning to feel like the worst mum and he isn’t even here.

I’m currently pregnant with baby no.2. My last pregnancy was perfect but I had a very traumatic birth and I think it’s making it harder for me to feel attached to this pregnancy. I’m so excited to have another baby in my arms in a few months, but I feel so disconnected from this pregnancy. I don’t feel excitement o...

Not feeling very close to my partner emotionally at the moment ! He's lovely and a great dad and gives me the time I need I just feel very disconnected last few months. Has anyone experienced this ?

So you know how sometimes you have those days where u don’t wanna go outside and don’t wanna be seen by no one and u just wanna stay in your pj’s all day, hair not done you get the point lol. So now that I’m 8 months pregnant and have a 12 month old I have these days a lot. My family (love them to death) always come...

I feel like I have no one to talk to, im sitting here staring at the wall… im tired of just watching tv or going for a walk it’s hard not to have company.. im 22 weeks now and I just feel extremely depressed I dunno what to do :(

I have an Eighteen month old. By the end of the day, I feel spent without achieving anything else. I mean sometimes not even cleaning the house. I follow my little one up and down because she is an active child and needs to be kept safe. I feel useless as a result.

We’re all gonna get old and die one day so why does something that happens so naturally, outside of our control, feel so bad. Like?

I’m so shocked at growing older lol like im in some sort of denial. Everything feels so underwhelming too. All i want to do is a picnic on the beach with my family. No fancy dinners or parties or anything. Yet i feel like i should be doing more since i’ll never get this time back.

Is anyone else just at a point now of being so bored and alone? I have no family and only one friend. I see her rarely but she doesn’t have children so usually I take my boy and then we’re a bit limited. My partner is literally all I’ve got. Which is fine, until he’s at work. Or when he comes home from work and is t...

I lost my mom in my early 20s. When I got pregnant I mourned that my kids would grow up without her. But now as they are close to 3 I feel so incredibly lonely and sad. I now grieve having to raise children without her. My dad and aunt are around and help. But there are so many times where I know things would have j...

Bit of background I was very social from 18-26. I (29) now live with my fiancée and 2 daughters (2 and 6 mo) 2 1/2 hours away from my hometown. I had a best friend for 11 years. It took me a while to realise how toxic it was. She would constantly ask for money and never give it back. Tell me she had a bad day so I’d...

Am I the only one who has a mental breakdown at least once a day ?

I’m 36+5 and I’m finding I’m really irritable and emotional about things like my patience has gone, I’m getting annoyed at the smallest things possible and will cry about things that I don’t need to - hoping I’m not alone?!
