I am 4 months pp and as I reflect back since my baby arrived, I felt so isolated and lonely (still do). Although my husband helps a lot, we don't see eye to eye on how to take care of our baby and it's testing our relationship. He says I'm just a "decent" mother which hurts a lot because I'm just doing my best here....
Anyone else struggle with making other mum friends. Attending different baby groups and really struggle, plus everyone seems to know each other. Not being very successful on here and not sure where else. It’s sometimes lonely and hard seeing other mums out walking their babies together thinking I’d be doing somethin...
Is anyone else just struggling. Feel like we have a tiny village, only my small family who aren’t always available and the kids dads family just don’t bother with our boys. I know I could have it worse but it’s hard. Just want to be around people all the time, not ‘loving’ every moment I’m at home with the kids but ...
So I’m almost 5 months pp and I feel so lonely! I’m a single mom who thankfully lives at home with her parents for now and have a village to help with my son but I feel alone! I’m on medication for depression but this seems to be a bit deeper than that.
I currently had a baby (premature) she was born at 34 weeks and is in critical condition. I haven’t felt the need to want to talk with friends anymore. I feel so depressed half the time and I feel like no one truly understands what I’m going through.
No one wished me Happy Mother’s Day. I know it seems stupid, but it made me feel very sad. My mom, sisters or even my child’s dad (on and off relationship) didn’t wish me happy Mother’s Day. I literally do everything for my girls by myself. I ask for nothing. I do understand people have lives and get busy, but a...
I pick my skin, nails, chew my lip, I just feel like I give off anxious energy and need tips to stop. Or will it make me explode of anxiety
My Fiancé (well now ex) suddenly left me 2 weeks ago with no warning. We have been together for 6 years and everything was great (ok the bicker here and there). It’s still really hard, we have had no contact apart from one meet up which went terrible! Is there anyone here that has been through the same thing. One mi...
I feel like I am losing myself and my mind some days. My 8 month old is super grumpy and clingy at the moment and cries when I turn my back. My 2.5 year old gets bored at home and when her sister is asleep wants my constant attention understandably, and doesn’t play alone. She has recently stopped napping. I want to...
I am just so depressed. I have achieved nothing in life and have depended on everyone around me to make me happy that if they dont i get frustrated. I have no self confidence and i am a quitter and feel like a loser. I dont do a single thing for myself not even a hobby or self care or even eat good. I feel so low al...
Anyone else feeling super depressed im18 weeks and keep getting so depressed even if nothing is going on
When people with no kids tell me they're tired or not feeling well, I just can't be sympathetic 🙈 like your time is your own, I wish I had the time to just not be well 🤣 or just have a lie in. I know its my choice and all that, but I just get triggered, like every day is stressful for me and I just wish I had some…
My mom was supposed to visit from another state for mothers day and she canceled a few weeks ago. My husband forgot mothers day but said we will celebrate it in a few days. I love being a SAHM but sometimes it just feels so lonely. All my energy goes into my child and I dont really have anything left to nurture...
I love this pregnancy but I wish I could’ve picked a different partner. Definitely feels lonely and from the wrong doings he’s done I just don’t feel like I could be with this person especially since his life is a mess. I painted a better version of him to my family so they could like him and it worked cause their ...
I am feeling extremely unappreciated.. My husband didn't plan or do anything for mothers day. We have 2 under 2. It's been a rough 2 months. The least he could do is get me a card and pretend the kids signed it.
To all you bad ass mamas. I’m grateful for you and this group! I hope you feel celebrated and appreciated today ❤️
