How do y’all deal with the mental load as a sahm? I feel like my brain rarely gets a break. There’s always something to add to the household lists and there’s always a task to complete. Are there any easier ways to organize the to do list in my brain? I already write things down constantly, but if I’m too busy to ge...

Had a very bad day and sat here wondering if my partner and kids would be happier without me, like if I just left and didn’t come back. I feel like all I bring to their lives is a lot of misery and disappointment. I’ve not done anything in my life to be proud of and just don’t want to bring them all down. I am usele...

Are you working? Childcare? Daycare? Living situation? I'm curious because I feel so lost and I need a home and a job otherwise I won't make it mentally and emotionally. I just don't know what to do. We live with Grandpa and have to get out of here but I have nothing. What do I do?!!! Paint a picture please

I would love a week long break away from everyone. I would love to drink again. I would love to be happy. I would love to not get so mad at the kids I want to leave the house. I don't spank them because when I get mad I worry that if I start I wont stop. I don't like how I am anymore. I get set off so easily. I'm no...

Someone please tell me I’m not the only one that feels down and things?😩

Hey ladies! It’s my first new years since having my twins. Im trying to find ways to try and enjoy the night since I’m feeling super depressed about being home alone with my babies. I have no friends or family that I can spend the night with and it’s really getting me down. I’m trying to find somethings that I can...

I think I’m so over men since having my one year old. Like I’ve not even wanted to go with someone just to get my needs fulfilled. Is it just me that thinks, I’d rather be around a woman? Like I’d be quite content with someone I can do my nails with etc and go out for dinner and drinks with and if something happened...

How do you handle a panic attack? I get at least one a day now because I'm so constantly anxious and I don't know how to handle this much anxiety. I can't afford a regular therapist and my medication just isn't cutting it anymore. I feel guilty that I am not mentally present because it gets so bad I just end up diss...

Anyone else just having a terrible time? Considering starting anti depressants. I cannot control these moods at all. It's awful.

Do any other mums just feel completely lost since becoming a mum? I want to be with my baby all the time, especially after our long infertility battle, but society makes me feel like I'm not doing enough just by being a mum, and even then I'm not good enough at being a mum because you need to have multiple sensory a...

Broke up Christmas day, been no contact since. As the time is going on the silence is getting louder and I am thinking more about everything. We got our first house together, first time abroad for him together, had a child together, lived together for nearly 2 years, celebrated birthdays together and made plans for ...

I’m a single mum with no friends or family support I’m so alone sometimes scared I’m dealing with a lot of trauma and I’m also grieving. I have no one to talk too just want to meet some nice people for me and my 2 year old son to connect with. Could really do with a hug and told be told everything will be okay.

Does anyone in here who’s only having one child, get the guilt that your baby is going to grow up lonely as an only child im not ready to have more kids not planning on having anymore but I do feel guilt I’m sure they will make friends in school but I grew up with siblings so I don’t know what it’s like as an only c...

I really need so much support rn I’m struggling and feeling so dang depressed😭!! Having no friends or really even family to talk to without being judged, it just really sucks man and watching my only 2 year son being sad and go thru this heartbreak too just makes me feel so worthless🥹! But can’t talk to anyone…

I don’t know why but all I do at the moment is sob, I’m 22 weeks tomorrow and I’m so exhausted all the time, I cry at absolutely everything and all I want is my mum. I really don’t feel supported at all, even with my midwife team or partner, I just consistently cry for my mum (she’s not with us anymore) and it sucks...

Ugh Every time I plan to do something I get bad vibes and a stomach ache so if my husband doesn’t want to go with me or I can’t find someone to go with I just stay home. I usually love a solo shopping trip and a hot chocolate while I wonder. All of a sudden being away from home alone is scary even if it’s 5-20 min ...

What do you when you sick, having a hard time with my baby cuz I feel so bad. I can’t play like I used to

1 to two kids has been much easier as in it’s been easier managing and meeting a babies needs but everything else has just taken a back seat. There’s just so much that needs to be done and someone always needs something and there is always a kid with me now. I’m so exhausted.

Does anyone else find motherhood so lonely? I’ve got an amazing partner and family but I feel like I’m missing something in my life. Can anyone relate or am I just crazy lol
