Can attraction come back…

I’ve lost attraction to my partner and don’t feel emotionally connected. I don’t want to leave him for that sole reason but I find it so hard to be intimate with him. Any advice on how to regain attraction? For background we have been together 6 years and share a child, everything was good but things went downhill...

I miss myself

I am 24 with a 3 year old and 3 month old. I never really knew what I wanted in highschool as far as my life. But I never really gave myself a chance either. I love my babies and their dad but I can’t help but to continue to think about what my life would have been like if I pursued my own wonders. I feel really bad...

Depressed & Lonely

I'm 20weeks, and I'm fighting depression. I did feel fine before but now I'm waking up and just wanna cry all day. I don't have many friends, if any tbh. My best friend is my husband and he absolutely amazing but I don't like to burden him with this as all he will do is worry. I just feel really lonely that I dont h...

Losing myself

Hey guys! Not sure if any of you are experiencing this.. recently I’ve felt as though it’s so tough to juggle our baby, my career, my relationship and hobbies - pre-baby i was extremely ambitious - I’ve always had a side hustle with social media + i had a podcast. Since having a baby it’s been SO hard to manage ever...

I find motherhood so lonely

Does anyone else feel this way? I moved a year or so before I had my baby so I'm not very close to family or friends. I thought my mum would be keen to spend time with her grandson and would visit frequently as she had suggested this while I was pregnant, but she seems to have changed her mind. She's retired and l...

I’ve had enough…

Of everything and everyone. The screaming, nagging, whinging, crying. It’s getting too much. I feel so alone, so under valued and under appreciated. I just want to run away.

New born period as a lone parent

I'm having an amazing time with my new little person. I'm also exhausted and overwhelmed. I'm struggling to find connections and make new friends, its hard to listen to people talk about their partners at stay and plays etc. I wouldn't give my little girl back for all the money in the world but learning how to be a ...

How many of you have focused so much on your family/children that you don't really care for yourself as much?

Well I am definitely a caring person that's for sure.. but I definitely forget to take care of myself more than a shower and such.. realizing that I need to make a dentist appointment to get my teeth fixed cause my 2 pregnancies did a fuckin number on me with that..

Single

Has anybody else separated since having their April baby? Around 3 months in my fiancé and partner of 6 years decided to separate. He was not as supportive in my post partum phase as I would of expected and we fell out of love, and I’ve made peace with it a long time ago. I just feel a bit lonely on weekends as ...

Let’s discuss… Begging for somebody when they don’t want you actually helps you get over them.

Personally, the more I beg for someone whilst they’re not bothered about me, the easier it is for me to get over them. In the end I know I can’t do much more and I know I tried my hardest. It’s almost like ‘keep going until you hate them/can’t go no more’. Thoughts? Let’s discuss?

Odd one

I’m a first time mum to a 4 month old baby girl. I love my baby to bits but sometimes I mourn my past life and wish I never had a baby. I never realised how difficult it would be and how much my life would change. I feel like I can never go back to my old life and there’s so much sacrifices I will have to keep makin...

Days like today

Days like today I wish I had a "village". Someone i could trust to take my kids so I can catch up on stuff and just relax for little bit. I'm 13 weeks pregnant today and I just want to not do anything. Not have my kids whining at me or fighting over the same toy, not having to make 3 meals plus snacks, just not move...

Lost myself

Anyone feel like they lost themselves after having a baby? I don’t want to go out, it’s not as fun, I use to drink like a fish in the sea.. I don’t drink anymore besides wine from time to time, I always had my nails and hair done, I’m literally a bum all day ever day now. Nothing seems fun anymore cause before I was...

To the lady who told me about the 🧿 a week ago

It’s working, I think it’s stopping my negative thoughts?! Like I genuinely have a block?! I have the cutest bracelet with it on. Just wanted to say Thank you 🤍 I’ve bought rose quartz too. It feels Like what antidepressant s do! (Don’t like taking them now at all but have done in past)
