Hi lovely mums, I am feeling really alone some days and feel like I need to get out there more and make some mum friends. IV tried starting a conversation on here but either people didn't respond or the conversation died down. Any suggestions. I got to two groups a week and made 2 really good mum friends but feel li...

How is everyone coping with the loneliness? My partner works till 7 almost every night, family members sometimes pop to see the baby but they stay for about half an hour and i’m on my own again i keep myself busy cooking and cleaning the house when the baby is sleeping but that’s all i do at the moment i take the ba...

I've been back for a few months and I'm just not coping. I feel so stressed and overwhelmed and I'm not getting any support at work. Any advice!?

Is anyone else a single mom that feels lonely asf? I feel so alone, stressed, strung out on life. I have four kids and they never listen. I can never eat sleep shower. I saw on tiktok a woman saying how much she loves her husband and it just had me in tears. Sounds stupid but i want a husband. Someone to take care o...

I don’t know if it was me being 18 and in high school (Although I’m sure that doesn’t help) but all of my friends abandoned me when they found out I was pregnant. Sure, they acted supportive and told me they were there for me but as soon as they had a reason to stop seeing me (i.e. us graduating high school), they’...

Or comment “never” if you don’t get takeaway.

I didn’t realise how lonely being pregnant is. I’ve been off for nearly 4 weeks due to being sick the first week and then annual leave for the last 3 weeks. My parents are in America & my partner has been working and gosh I just feel so alone. I’ve never really had friends so everyday I’ve just been in the house sta...

Does anyone else feel sad and isolated, vulnerable and alone during pregnancy? It only started at about 20 weeks for me. I find myself tearing up and crying most days as my friends (none of them have kids) haven’t really bothered with me at all since finding out, and haven’t checked to ask how I am. I thought I woul...

I feel like running away. I can’t parent. I can’t take care of myself. I have no work and no one cares about me and my opinion.

Any other mamas feel so alone it’s causing borderline depression? I’m a 29 year old mama to a little guy. I only have my son half the time (50/50 schedule) and the other half of the time I just go back to an empty bed and lay there in silence until the rest of the day passes by. Idk why it’s so hard to make friends...

My BD has not met my LO, 3 months makes me SO made how someone can’t give a sh*t about their own blood, feel like it’s been the hardest year and feel so lonely

Is anyone else feeling quite lonely in this first trimester? My partner couldn’t possibly DO more, but having no friends with children or in this stage of life yet has left me feeling so alone, when I talk about how I’m feeling I feel the disinterest from them. Just hoping I’m not alone in this feeling, and the gui...

For the past two days, I’ve been feeling like my life has been in a constant loop. I’m a SAHM and ima be honest I haven’t had a moment just to decompress and find myself. For the past 2 years I’ve lost my identity and neglected myself because of it. I’m not looking for pity, I just want to be understood. I’ve tried ...

I miss feeling pretty, even like 2 years after I had my first son I still felt pretty. Now I hardly feel pretty even with makeup on it’s hard to feel beautiful and I hate it. I constantly dye my hair in an attempt to build some confidence, which has really just damaged my hair and done nothing to boost my confidence...

Please tell me I’m normal & not a creep 😂 am I the only one who like to stare at my kid while they are sleeping?

I’m tired of acting like I’m ok and I AM NOT OKAY! my life is depressing at this point and I give up. I can not do this anymore…

Being a stay at home mom with major health issues and nobody ever understands and I wouldn’t expect people to understand , but being able to talk with an adult have getting out of the house just to breath just to take in the fresh air I’m starting to feel like more of a maid and house keepers than a mother I love my...

Hi ladies - just wondering if there are any first time mums out there like me, 40 yrs old, and doing this journey alone. I always dreamt of this time growing up and thought I’d be in a nice big house with a loving husband and it would all be magical. But instead my partner was awful to me and I’m keeping my distance...
