Anyone else struggling with loneliness since being pregnant? I've always had a small circle and it's never really bothered me but lately it feels like since being pregnant my circles gone from being small to none existent. I have my mum and partner and they're both amazing but sometimes I really miss having peop...

I feel like since I’ve entered motherhood, I haven’t been myself. And it seems like the more kids I have (pregnant with baby #4) it just gets worse. I haven’t watched a show or a movie in years. I havent done anything that makes me happy and it truly sucks deep down. I wouldn’t even know what I would want to do beca...

Have you ever hit rock bottom and felt like things wouldn’t get better? What helped you turn things around, and how did the experience shape who you are today?

Just to stir some encouragement, motivation and love. What are you doing currently to move towards your higher self?

Is anyone else feeling in a low mood. I can't really narrow down what it is. Little one is currently going through unusual sleeping due to regression. However I just generally alone/trapped. I keep reading or seeing posts about if you like your struggling to reach out to family and friends for support. I dont have a...

26+4 weeks pregnancy, the loneliness and anxiety is really hitting me. In the first trimester, probably because she’s our rainbow baby, a lot of friends and family messaged checking in on us and wanting to catch up etc. Now … very few want to talk or catch up. Try to arrange meet ups and they all get cancelled or re...

I quit my job today, I did not personally like the organization, it was just a lot of in-genuine behavior. I feel like I’ve made a mistake but I’ve been working here since the beginning of September and just never have gotten to a point that I feel comfortable. The manager was constantly on me about my work. I know ...

Has anyone else here literally lost almost all of their friends since becoming a mom? It feels super lonely sometimes

This can be from childhood or something you have recently noticed yourself feel conscious about

The last couple of days I have been struggling so much mentally and just feel like I need time away from my little one I feel like no one understand! Has anyone else ever felt like that because I feel awful as a mum to say that I need time away!

Oh my goodness I am feeling so much sadness along with loneliness and isolation! I’m struggling so bad and I don’t know what to do. I don’t have a close friend or someone that even cares to check up on me. I’m always calling people when I don’t feel so bad to see how they’re doing but never get reciprocated. But in ...

Idk who to talk to. It used to be easy to take care of myself. Do my hair do some makeup have some clean clothes that were flattering. Now I look in the mirror and it seems like I’ve aged tremendously, any clothes fit weirdly, doing my hair is so difficult because i have curly hair and it’s thinning +frizzy so anyth...

Hey mama You are never alone – In moments of darkness, it can feel like no one understands, but God is always with you. Psalm 34:18 reminds us that “The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit.” Prayer Lord, please lift the darkness and fill me with Your light. In Jesus mighty...

Hate that I’m a single mom to be. My baby’s father left me once he found out I was pregnant . Has anyone else been through this ? I’m not sure how to coop with everything. All I know is I love my baby and will do the best I physically and emotionally can

Me time, hobbies, time alone or whatever you wanna call it. I don’t know how to spend time by myself or do anything for just me. I feel like doing so would be beneficial.

I just can’t get myself to do it. I panic about nap time, snacks, dinner, her comfort, but I wish I could just go out and do something alone one day

I need help, my employer wants me to work onsite because I work from home because of my performance but I let them know I have post partum depression and working onsite will affect my mental health as I am already struggling with it. Random crying episodes and not showering or hygiene I am not comfortable they are a...

… I hate the monotony of everyday life and the regular feeling of loneliness! Also, does anyone else HATE staying in with their LO, even when playing etc and has to get out? I feel like my LB is happier when out and about too, I feel bad though as then he’s not doing enough tummy time, playing with his toys, napping...

It's like it's a feeling as if I knew them before I even gave birth. For example, when I gave birth to my firstborn when I woke up and saw him (beccuse I lost alot of blood and consciousness so fell asleep after) I woke up and held him and it was a familiar feeling like 'Oh its you'....and everytime i look at them...
