Has anyone started their bump ‘self care’ yet? I brought these bits today.

I’m 35, have a 2 year old and am pregnant with my second. I feel like I’ve just become a cardboard cut out of myself, I’ve lost my personality. I used to have whimsy, likes and dislikes, hobbies, opinions, etc, and I feel like I’ve lost all of it. I’ve become a robot that just gets through the day, and I know that t...

I work in a large university. This week I attended the first ever forum on operational excellence. It was hosted by IT and Finance, so university-wide, not just my department or faculty. I was a presenter/had a booth at the “showcasing excellence” networking event. I was the only presenter from my department/entir...

I just want to run away from everything, my 2 youngest kids aged 2 and 8 months Havant slept since 12.30am it’s now 4.35am my partner their dad doesn’t help either. I love them but I just want to disappear from this world. I have no help from family or friends.

Single mom trying to figure it out. I have a toddler and expecting twins. Bf broke up with me a few weeks after finding out I was pregnant. I’m not going to have a baby shower because I have no friends and only a small family they aren’t that support system I wish I had. If any one can maybe help and check out my re...

I had my little boy at 30 weeks just over a week ago, is there anyone else in the same boat with a pre term baby, this can feel like a very lonely time

Anyone else feeling lonely and just lost? Or is it just me?! I feel like I don’t really have any girlfriends to do anything with I feel like all I see is the 4 walls, my partner and my son. I don’t drive either which makes it harder to always get out and about and the weather is just a proper downer atm🥲…

What is your go-to thing to feel as much like yourself as possible? I am caught in the wake up, stay in pajamas all day and catch a glimpse of myself in the mirror and don’t recognize myself. Curious what everyone’s go to thing is to feel more yourself each day!

They are a good friend for the most part. But I feel drained some days around them. Other times it’s normal

I’m currently 31 weeks pregnant and am shamelessly hoping to find the yin to my yang. I recently lost an incredibly close friendship of 9 years with one of the most amazing and beautiful souls I’ve ever known. Sure, I have other girlfriends and while I admire them and appreciate their friendship, it’s just not the s...

Is anyone else super anxious about leaving the house alone with their LO? I’ve only left the house alone once since they arrived and there are 10 weeks old. I don’t drive and with the weather having been awful I feel totally trapped. I don’t feel like I’m being a grown up, proper mum.

Does anyone else just feel overwhelmed with having to go out everyday and thinking of where to go? I am a bit of a home bird anyway, but I don't know if its because I'm feeling a bit low but it makes me really anxious thinking about it. We attend 2 baby classes each week and that's fine but I hate thinking about whi...

I am 6 months pp, I don't have a lot of friends (the friends I do have don't have children and work full time) so in the week I feel so lonely because it's only really me and my LO. I see my parents once a week and go to a baby class once a week but in the baby class everyone was already in their little cliques, eit...

I’m talking about getting a job, a new place, starting fresh without help or support from anyone.

I dreamed about being a mom and having children since I was little, but now that I am one, I don’t like it. I love my child, but my life has changed so much and I miss my life pre children. Am I the only one who regrets having kids?

Just to lighten the mood, which superpower would you choose?
