It feels like i will miss out if i am away from them. I am unable to sleep or work from home or go out for a coffee or two.. ...

I believe in mental illness and believe in seeing a doctor or therapist for guidance/help. What I hate is people coming out of the woodworks after they commit a crime because they refuse to take accountability

On one hand I'm like I get it she has work and a life. But at the same time I see her hanging out with her other friends so she can clearly make time to see them but not me... I feel like I'm being selfish but I miss my friend... We've known each other since we were literally babies... Has anyone else gone through t...

I'm 37 years old and haven't really been a huge fan of this time of year. My mother passed away when I was 16 and my father is just now establishing a relationship with me just this past year. My family let me down when my mother passed without much support at all. I put myself through college and have a 13 year old...

I really need to leave my job but I don't know what to do.. I am applying for jobs but not getting anywhere..I can't stand the place and people..its really getting to me

Is anyone finding maternity leave lonely? My partner works nights and is doing loads of overtime. We haven’t got much money so can’t afford baby classes etc. and I’m not feeling up to go going out now. I was a few weeks ago. I spend most of my time doing washing/ watching tv: family and friends are too far away.

Honestly, I can't help feeling like a total failure, I'm a first-time mum, and every time my LO, who is 3 months today, goes into a total meltdown, I can't help but break down myself. I feel so emotionally and physically drained by doing all the night feeds and then having to go about our day. Sometimes, I feel l...

I have a 14 yr old & a 6 month old. I feel like I could be confused as a bum 75% of the time we’re out. I just don’t even have time for myself anymore & it’s making me super self conscious 😞

I have 2 children, 1 boy 14 months and a baby girl that’s a few weeks old. Ever since becoming a mum I’ve felt so lonely. Since having my first child I don’t speak to my family because I wanted to break the toxic cycles and give my children the best chance at life. My husband works 14 hours a day, 5 days a week so I...

She said she would donate to a charity. Then said she had. But she hadn't. She said she voted Trump the first time. Then when he started to do bad things in power, she denied voting for him. I suspect she voted for him again. I have no idea how to relate to her. She's nice, but I think like Trump, there's comfor...

How did you cope with the pending arrival of your 2nd+ born? I am so so excited to meet our newest family member next week but my god the tears I have shed this last week every time I think about it no longer being me and our first. I never went back to work so for over a year it’s just been us every day and as aw...

It’s all in the eyes, babe. I remember looking in the mirror and feeling like I wasn’t living up to my full potential. I just knew there was more for me. Stuck in my own head, overthinking every decision, wondering if I’d ever actually feel alive. That version of me? She had dreams, but she was hiding from her ...

Why is it that I genuinely find it so embarrasing that I’m a single mum. I never look at other single mums and think “ha ha how embarrassing” but yet I’m just so embarrassed and SO ashamed that I am one. Anyone else relate? And did anyone else feel this way once upon a time and get over it? I don’t even care to b...

Any other mums felt isolated when becoming a first time mum, like you’re so happy to have your baby but also feel abit low because you feel isolated. Any mums from Sheldon/Yardley/Ackocks Green/Solihull/Shirley area with a baby message me 😌

I hate that I get this sudden burst of emotions like I’m so happy to be with this man and I want to marry him but only when he’s not around! But then when he’s around it’s like I don’t want to be bothered by him but at the same time I do want to be bothered by him, and then when he’s around me I feel annoyed by his ...

It’s ok to laugh

The last time Trump was president, as a black woman, I felt like I had to go the extra mile to be accepted by Americans. I’m scared that I have to do that again for another four years
