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...

You know you're not alright when you've accepted your not mentally well 😭💔

I wish someone would have told me how mentally, physically, and emotionally draining parenthood can be, i knew about the financial part of it but never the other part. I wanted one child, but I got pregnant with twins in the first years I managed it even though most of the time i was doing it myself . We're in year...

I guess I’m looking for advice when it comes to journaling about negative emotions. My village is unreliable and I find myself getting stuck in an angry cycle whenever I try to write about it. It doesn’t make me feel better but I need to get the feelings out somehow.

I’ve been a single full-time mum (divorced) since pretty much giving birth, I naively thought it would get easier but almost a year in i’ve found family and friends focus goes back to their normal lives (rightly so). Any advice for the overwhelming loneliness as I am really struggling?

It feels like all I do is look after my LO (who I of course love) and do jobs and life admin. I literally don’t feel like there’s time for anything else. I feel like I’ve lost myself 😢

I hate when people say I'm just on benefits for the fun of it. Like are you taking piss. You think I want to live on £1950 a month and have nothing to show for it as it all goes onto paying bills for the house buying food and then paying for specialist equipment for my disabled child. It pisses me off more than anyt...

Hello everyone, my name is Amanni and I’m from Texas. My husband has recently started trucking so this is all new for me and I could really use a support system and just people to talk to. I’ve found myself being really sad lately. How do you all deal with the time apart?

Does anybody else be feeling like there so alone 😭😭😭? All I do is work & be a mom no social life or consistent friends .. ugh I just pray for better days 🙏🏽

I still haven't made any mum friends. I go to baby classes, and it just feels so awkward. I feel like there are lots of little groups already. The chat on this group gets me through the day. Not sure my partner can bear another discussion about our babies naps.

Postpartum is so lonely! Constantly running the same cycle of routine every day so with 7 week old and 7 y/o. Husband goes to work and still has a social life doesn't help with night time feeds. My family live hours away. My friends are all busy with work life. No sign of a village anywhere 😭 also my only…

So my son is now about to be two months and I haven’t left his side since birth but I got invited out and part of me needs the break just for a couple of hours to hang with some friends but I also feel very guilty for even thinking about leaving him alone. Have any of you ladies gone out if so around what age is app...

your persistence is paying off, even if the results aren’t immediate. keep believing in yourself! 🪽

Am I the only one out there struggling with mum friends or friends in general? I feel like I’m constantly the only one trying to make an effort and make arrangements. Once these arrangements are put in place they most likely get cancelled? I’m costantly doubting myself like I’ve done something wrong. Is there anyone...

Anyone else feeling kind of isolated? My little one is almost 5 months old, I have an amazing partner and I really don’t know what I’d do without him. We don’t have any family that helps us. All the people that said they’d be there are suddenly nowhere to be found, where’s this village that’s supposed to be here to ...

Does anyone else feel incredibly lonely? I have a nearly two year old son, no close family and my pre child friendship group has fizzled out as we live completely different lifestyles. We are on our own most days and not only do I feel lonely at times I feel bad for my son as he doesn’t get much interaction with any...

Hey guys! My names Madie and I’m currently 10 weeks pregnant and a sahm. We only have 1 car so I can never leave the house since my fiance works basically 12 hours a day. I’ve been having such a hard time coping with my new life never leaving the house. It’s lead me to be super emotional and depressed. I was wonderi...

Sometimes it's frustrating how hard it is making mom friends. Going into the winter and trying to figure out how I am going to keep me and a 2 year old sane. Anyone struggle because they don't enjoy the giant groups of moms trying to get together? I respect it but I get overstimulated so easily and do so much bett...

Then later on when my parents moved out of there, it was still a family of six of us siblings and And I can honestly say that anytime I have been the ...
