Looks like I will be delivering my baby alone. Anyone else out there go through this? Would appreciate some tips and encouragement!

I’ve been applying for months now and while I’ve had a few interviews nothing comes through. I’m supposed to hear back about a fellowship in a few weeks and if I don’t get this idk what to do next 😩 My unemployment is done and I’m feeling the pressure and don’t want to run through my savings! Despite the “right”…

I’m really struggling with ONLY the isolation that comes with motherhood as I’m sure a lot of you can relate… but I’m lowkey so tired of my (distant) support system suggesting I’m dealing with ppd. I really don’t believe that because I’ve actually stayed very much the same since having my son. I have tried to remain...

Nobody ever told me motherhood would be lonely.im 23 have a 5 month old..he's hitting all his milestones but im introverted. I take him to play group so he can feel what it's like to know others his age..I personally think he is doing so well..yet today I was so nervous..I text all the mom's I have connected so far ...

Feeling super down and lonely recently and I have NOBODY other than my partner. I could really do with some friends, of course mum friends would be a bonus!

Does anyone else feel lonely on maternity leave, plus my baby was premature and not hitting milestones and it’s starting to get me feeling really disappointed!

I'm feeling down. My last relationship I ruined. Perfect man it was year ago but it's still heavy on my heart. I feel so incompetent for a 33 yr old, I don't see many redeeming qualities about myself, I feel like a fuck up. I feel it would take years to turn myself into something presentable that a man wouldn't be...

Hi everyone, I’m 4/5 months into returning to work and the last few months I’ve felt very very low and stressed. I went to see my GP and they’ve prescribed me some antidepressants which I’ve been taking for almost a week. Obviously they take a while to work but I constantly feel low, stressed, exhausted, like I don’...

Why do people with no kids slowly drift away from you once you decide to have a baby? I lost my best friend after I had my baby girl. She doesn’t want kids

Now accepting applications for one solid, unfiltered, ride-or-die bestie. Job Requirements: Must be fluent in sarcasm, side-eye, and “I’m fine” when I’m clearly not. Must understand the struggle of loving a man who works 80 hours a week but still can’t find the ketchup in the fridge. Must accept that I may cance...

I love my child and I'm very grateful but I can't help but have days where I just wish I wasn't a mum. I just need a break so badly but know even if I could take a break if still be worrying about her etc and I just wish I could have a day off

Sucks I don’t really connect with any moms. Im single, unmarried and a first time mother. Not to mention I’m poor. Mostly all the ladies on here are married and seem to be making it for the most part. I just wish I could relate to someone more like me :(

I'm in the middle of my extended family and my family. Like it's such a long story... I just wanna run away.. and just stay somewhere with my phone off so people will just leave me alone 😞

Can anyone have a chat if available, anyone who suffers from anxiety panic attacs I’m losing my mind with this hopelessness

I have an 18 month old and currently 21 weeks pregnant with our 2nd. I spend a lot of my time at the moment crying because I have no idea how I’m going to cope. My partner is great but we only have each other, no grandparents or anyone else to help. My mum has memory problems which I’m also dealing with alone as I’m...

Does anyone else ever get in that head space where they just can't wait for their children to go to bed? It's not that I don't love them, I absolutely adore them, and it's not that I'm lazy and can't be bothered, I'd do anything for them. Somedays I just enjoy quiet, which I know with children doesn't happen, and wh...
