Really struggling at the moment to bond with my little one, some days there really good where I feel my normal self other days I struggle and need my mum or partner around has anyone else felt like this?

I feel completely stuck! I'm not happy with my life the way it is, can't change it, can't leave My kids don't listen to me, house is too small, always arguing with husband. I'm disabled and husband is my carer, always struggling for money, no friends, no family, no where to escape too. I'm not happy and I'm stuck

I work at a drug rehab facility and I feel like the hardest part of my job is seeing previous clients I wanted to succeed, back in the detox unit. I honestly hate that part of the job so much because you want them to succeed in recovery.

I constantly hear and read about many moms (especially on mat leave) who find motherhood lonely and are looking to make mom friends and build a community. There are many groups with that "finding mom friends" theme. There was great interest on one of the local chats I'm in and so we started a smaller group of a few ...

Hey, Has anyone had an experience where they kinda lose a friendship after having a baby? I have a best friend that is a guy and I feel like ever since I have had a baby he has issues with me. I am not as available to talk on the phone all the time. And we work together a lot and we just did a project (my baby was...

Anyone has any advice on how to speak up and be more confident. My confidance hasn't always been the best but recently it has gotten worse. I work and in meetings instead of speaking with clarity and assurance I just choke up every bloody time 😣😣 and I play it again and again in my head 😫😫. Any tips please 😭😭 it…

I am either married to the wrong person or I have some mental problems. I am so unhappy in my marriage but I don’t have the strength to start over. We have 3 small kids who would be absolutely heartbroken. I am so tired emotionally and mentally.

After talking to the ladies in my NCT group I feel quite inadequate. A lot of them talk about already wanting to go for a second child (few months after giving birth), and many of them say they don't want to go back to work. I love my little one, but I also miss other parts of me, and I kinda can't wait to start nur...

I’m referring to the first couple years specifically (as that’s where I’m at in my journey). I’ve felt so invisible to all around me - my friends, family, colleagues etc (I’m single so no partner anyhow). I’m wondering if this happens to others and what your experiences are if you’d like to share. The question is:...

I feel obligated to let people the day of but I kinda was hoping after everyone would leave me alone with the baby and let me recoup for a bit.. am I being selfish? 🫠 (Due April 7th)

I often struggle with knowing what to do during the day, or even night time. I do struggle with motivation for a lot of things but then have also always wondered what is ot that I'm meant to be doing during the day or my life. So I was wondering what are people's routines? What do people do throughout the days/wee...

It’s lonely, exhausting, I haven’t showered in a week because my child’s sleep has been all over the place, I have no village. I am hopeful about it warming up and spending as much time outdoors for spring/summer but I get so depressed most days with zero adult interaction/conversation/time to myself. I am trying t...

Is anyone else with 2 struggling? I have a 2.5 year old and 5 week old, I feel so overwhelmed and find it so difficult having them both on my own 😫 plus a needy dog, I feel like I can’t cope at the moment. I wish I knew it would be this hard.. When my MIL takes my toddler it’s such a relief but then I’m riddled…

Currently 11:57 pm and i'm just on my phone, couldn't sleep and I started thinking again how I lost most of my "friends" over the years... The only friends I have left lives in a different state. Becoming a mom is the biggest blessing ever and I am very happy and grateful with the life and family that I have but g...

How do you get over a relationship break down? 25 weeks pregnant and my partner has just packed his bags and walked out!🤷‍♀️ I have no friends to lean on .. not sure how I’m going to get through this next chapter in my life!😭💔

So I don’t know how to say this without it sounding awful but I miss my life before having a baby, I miss having time to myself to do things that help me relax and sleep (I really miss sleep). I can’t even look after myself and go days without washing 😔 I feel gross, I look awful and just want to cry all the time……

Only just kind of opened the bubble and I’m already sick of people coming round 😂 does anyone else feel the same, my immediate family have helped with tasks round the house so don’t mind it with them but other people I feel like I’m waiting on them hand and foot and trying to make sure my house is a bit tidier for…
