Is anyone an actual successful only child? I come from a big family but I have fertility issues, I had my 2 yr old son and I have been trying unsuccessfully to have another. I hear my son playing alone and he sounds happy but if this doesn’t work out i wanted to hear any tips on raising a singleton. I don’t know any...

Any advice or solidarity please? Exhausted, low mood and craving me time :(

I feel this way. No one calls since they think I don’t have anything interesting to say

I feel that ever since being a stay at home mom, less friends call me. Or when they do call, they talk about themselves or others more than asking about how I am doing and my baby. It’s like my life is not as exciting, or they don’t think about how I feel and what I want to share. Anyone else experience this? I feel...

I feel so empty and drained there is literally no one I can talk to. I feel stupid embarrassed and abandoned. I can’t work because I’m on bedrest and I’m always in the house. Im just so mentally , physically and emotionally drained and tired of crying all the time. I’m literally just going one day after the next jus...

How often does this happen? For those of you that have been married 5 or more years...? Been 2 years with alot of ups and downs, 2 beautiful babies and no major issues between us, but the attraction faded, no going out on dates, no flirting, and very little time or headspace for intimacy. I am extremely attracted t...

I have no friends, so no one to talk too and I don't go out so I'm stuck sat at home with my thoughts on where it went wrong as I thought everything was fine 😭 Of course my 6 year old keeps me occupied when she's…

Please is out there anyone else who constantly has to carry their baby? I feel so lonely isolated and mentally broken. I’m so exhausted and it feels like it’s only me and my baby. Everyone else is having happy baby that will be happily playing in their mat. I can’t move, my toddler can’t sleep as my baby will always...

I'm just so, so lonely, and it hurts so much. My partner works 6/7 days from early morning to late at night, and I don't really have anyone else. I have severe anxiety, which doesn't let me leave the house, so I just feel so trapped for months and no friends and moved away from family. I just feel so isolated, an...

Just fucking cringe. Like some responses can be so outlandish, it doesn’t even feel real?😭 like are y’all okay? There’s a incredible lack of empathy and humanity in the world. It’s disappointing.

I won't be having more kids unless some miracle happens but I have no plans and circumstances that would allow me to have another My son is almost two and sometimes I feel it's so lonely and wish he had more kids around him. I do my best to see people as much as possible But if you were an only child what can I ...

Mother of two.. I can’t seem to have any confidence in myself and particularly with my work. I was once a high performing professional and can take up multiple positions and do very well. But now I am struggling a lot and stuck in my position. I am unable to convey myself well and feel like none likes me

I'm so depressed. I had depression before I got pregnant, but like....this is something else. I'm lonely. I don't feel seen or heard. I don't have a good support system and I don't have any friends. That's why I downloaded this app. I havent had any luck so far. I feel like I'm literally screaming into the void and ...

Why does the mania never last as long as the depression with bi polar?? 😴

My husband is having to travel out of the country for a week for a sick family member and it will be the first time I have been alone with baby for this long. We have pretty much done everything 50/50 up until now. We don’t have much of a support network here so any tips on solo parenting for the week would love! My...

I am a single mum & stay at home mum, I take my LG out most days to go out and about but I do find myself stuck on my phone when we don’t go out & I feel immensely guilty for this. I find it difficult to do imaginary play, etc and I don’t have a village around me to see most days. I do everything by myself, and try ...

I am a FTM and feel so lonely. The only people around my area are my in-laws and my husband works very long hours (only see him when we sleep) so I feel like I’m only communicating with a baby and would do anything for some company. All of my support network lives far away and my in-laws I’d rather keep a distance f...

I have two children and always feel judged whilst I struggle to chase after my girls to make sure they don’t get hurt or hurt someone whilst all the mums have a coffee relax and give me evils never a smile never a warm welcome just me?
