Does anyone else feel lonely on maternity leave, plus my baby was premature and not hitting milestones and it’s starting to get me feeling really disappointed!

I'm feeling down. My last relationship I ruined. Perfect man it was year ago but it's still heavy on my heart. I feel so incompetent for a 33 yr old, I don't see many redeeming qualities about myself, I feel like a fuck up. I feel it would take years to turn myself into something presentable that a man wouldn't be...

Hi everyone, I’m 4/5 months into returning to work and the last few months I’ve felt very very low and stressed. I went to see my GP and they’ve prescribed me some antidepressants which I’ve been taking for almost a week. Obviously they take a while to work but I constantly feel low, stressed, exhausted, like I don’...

Why do people with no kids slowly drift away from you once you decide to have a baby? I lost my best friend after I had my baby girl. She doesn’t want kids

Now accepting applications for one solid, unfiltered, ride-or-die bestie. Job Requirements: Must be fluent in sarcasm, side-eye, and “I’m fine” when I’m clearly not. Must understand the struggle of loving a man who works 80 hours a week but still can’t find the ketchup in the fridge. Must accept that I may cance...

I love my child and I'm very grateful but I can't help but have days where I just wish I wasn't a mum. I just need a break so badly but know even if I could take a break if still be worrying about her etc and I just wish I could have a day off

Sucks I don’t really connect with any moms. Im single, unmarried and a first time mother. Not to mention I’m poor. Mostly all the ladies on here are married and seem to be making it for the most part. I just wish I could relate to someone more like me :(

I'm in the middle of my extended family and my family. Like it's such a long story... I just wanna run away.. and just stay somewhere with my phone off so people will just leave me alone 😞

Can anyone have a chat if available, anyone who suffers from anxiety panic attacs I’m losing my mind with this hopelessness

I have an 18 month old and currently 21 weeks pregnant with our 2nd. I spend a lot of my time at the moment crying because I have no idea how I’m going to cope. My partner is great but we only have each other, no grandparents or anyone else to help. My mum has memory problems which I’m also dealing with alone as I’m...

Does anyone else ever get in that head space where they just can't wait for their children to go to bed? It's not that I don't love them, I absolutely adore them, and it's not that I'm lazy and can't be bothered, I'd do anything for them. Somedays I just enjoy quiet, which I know with children doesn't happen, and wh...

Is anyone else finding early pregnancy incredibly lonely? I think it’s because we’ve decided not to tell anyone until after our 12 week scan - I’m currently just over 9 weeks, and it all feels quite isolating. The anxiety doesn’t help and sometimes I wish I could just speak to someone (so am thankful for this app!) ...

Up with my 5 year old like every other night. Its always so lonely when everyone else is asleep.

I'm turning 40 this year, I already have a lo who will be turning 2 in October. I feel like I should have another baby so my first isn't a lonely child, but then again i feel like im too old, what do you all think?

Tonight is my babies first night in their own room. How did everyone feel on the first night? My anxiety is through the roof more than normal and I feel so sad! I’ve found myself just crying at the fact they’ve grown so fast and now are in their own room

i’ve having a really hard time with my body lately, and i’ve found that writing poetry helps me get my thoughts out while also allowing myself to view things from a different perspective. i wrote this poem on a day i was particularly having a hard time. i hope it helps a new mama out there experiencing the same! :) ...

I am single, first time mom. Feeling like I need to be strong all the time. A-lot of overthinking. I wish I had more supportive people in my life.

So I lost my job. My manager and I didn't like eachother much she would always impose "quizzes" on me I'm not good with quizzes my brain short circuits when I'm being forced to answer something. And she called me dumb for it in a way it can't backfire on her "It's not like your dumbb or anything" while rolling her e...

How do you other mothers live life with 5 kids and pregnant... Alone ... Me and my children were abandoned for the 100th time by their father who is my ex husband. And I'm extremely hurt and lost... Like how could he just up and leave.. not even care to see his kids or help me take care of them. I'll be having his 6...

I have a 3 year old and now 1 year old twins.. I feel like I am just constantly drained and exhausted. My eldest had my full attention, I played with her all day, no/very limited screen time, all my attention, and she had a mum who also got a break! Now with twins too I can come back from an hour break and I feel li...
