Not sure , if it's loneliness of living in a foreign country / culture or just my own depression creeping up or just a tough couple of days of parenting my toddler. Or if I am just burnt out for being there for everyone , yet no one is there for me when I need them Or if it's the constant trying to get to know m...

My phone gives me anxiety/overwhelms lol , I must rather in person interactions. Am I the only one?

My daughter is 4.5 months old. Not a single one of my friends, including my best friend - the maid of honor in my wedding, has been over to meet her. Ive been candid about my PPD and how crippling it’s been at times and still nothing. Not a stop by, nothing. I am sad, disappointed and feeling so lonely.

Could really use some friends I’m about to leave a 5 year relationship and tbh he was my only friend idk I’m struggling with mom duties now this

Why is it so hard to make friends as an adult? I cannot seem to find even 1 friends to keep in touch with. So I guess here is my lone I am casting out! Hi I’m Kate! I’m 34 and have 2 kids. Boy girl, almost 5 and almost 9. I have adhd. My daughter has autism and adhd and I’m pretty sure my son has adhd too. So we a...

Anyone feeling like this or experienced this?

I’m 32 weeks + 3 days and had a massive break down yesterday to my fiance about not having any friends and feeling very alone other than him. Has anyone else’s emotions been heightened a lot more recently? Or anyone else relate to feeling lonely?

Hey ladies, do you ever feel so alone? Completely different from the rest, you don't fit in with the normal mom groups, a whole lot of everything but not the something to fit in? Connecting with others is so hard when you feel like you have to sensor the most authentic parts of yourself for acceptance. I have no ide...

Anyone experienced this? Just feeling isolated trying to settle in a new place and shared with a group I'm in and just felt judged and now feel like I shouldn't have opened up about how I'm feeling now feel even worse!😩

Do any of you busy family life mums sometimes envy those that live a solo simple life. Sometimes I just picture some random who lives in a nice little one bed flat, they have their nice little job that they enjoy, just getting along living life. They go to work come home, get a take away put their feet up with a gla...

Incognito because it's so stigmatized. I miss working. Child care has a lot of rewarding moments but overall I feel bored. I had a part time project a couple weeks ago, it didn't take a lot of time but it's the most refreshed I felt in such a long time.

Is it just me or can the days be really long ? I hear so many people love their days off with their little ones but I find them exhausting. I am not a crafts person and just find I have good intentions but really struggle. I feel I should be enjoying it a lot more. It’s worrying me as want a sibling for lo but I jus...

What are some mantras or things that you say to yourself to make you feel better when you have an episode of PPD/PPA (uncontrollable negative thoughts, suicidal thought, mom guilt, can’t do self-care, don’t want your baby or partner, hard on myself, hopeless, helpless, depressed, anxious, etc.)? I ask because I hav...

How often do you tell your husband/partner you appreciate them and all that they do?? I’m not talking all the daily stuff, I mean telling them straight up ‘I appreciate everything you do’

I knew mat leave was lonely because people have told me in the past. The way the dynamic is with me and my partner at the minute I don’t always get a chance to go to groups and when I do I feel like I’m masking so much it makes me so uncomfortable. It has been a really humbling experience to see how many of my “frie...

I’ll go first: I think I push people away unintentionally. I’ve had 2 friends tell me they don’t know if they’re allowed to text me or not. & that made me self reflect on how I show up in relationships. I didn’t notice I was pushing ppl away

Who came up with the idea that it’s okay to work 40+ hours a week!? And why? This shit consumes me. I have no time for anything besides work. No wonder everyone around me is angry and/or depressed. Don’t let you have kids and a family either cause then that shit gets 100x harder. Then you really don’t have no time f...

I am not going to hurt myself. I just feel so done with everything. I have body aches. My stomach is uncomfortable. I am sick of my job but it pays so it sustains me and my family’s life. My husband doesn’t even talk to me. The only thing that brings me joy is my kids. I am just living for the Lord/God/Jesus. I can’...

I’m 32 weeks and feeling so isolated. I’m worried my feelings of isolation are a pre-cursor to PPD/PPA. Anyone else feeling isolated in their pregnancy or experiencing perinatal mood disorder symptoms?
