Hey all Anyone feel like motherhood can be lonely? Anyone from Scotland

Seems like nothing is going well for me. I feel like I have no purpose. I wanted to do something new, get out more by applying to daycare jobs/Working with Children so my kids can also stay close. No good outcomes. Then I wanted another child and after a good conversation with my husband, it looks like ill he taking...

6 years ago, I was stuck in survival mode. A mom to three beautiful kids, but I felt invisible—like my only identity was “Mom.” I poured everything into my family, but deep down, I was exhausted, unfulfilled, and questioning if there was more to life. Fast forward to today—watching my kids laugh, explore, and thriv...

Has anyone experienced this and how have you turned your life around?

I’m really struggling in life lately with my 10 month old son. Me and his dad are going through a divorce after being together for 3 years. It was very unexpected and I am heartbroken about this. I don’t have any friends or much of people to talk or hang out with so any kind words or conversation would be nice. I’m ...

I’ve lost attraction to my partner and don’t feel emotionally connected. I don’t want to leave him for that sole reason but I find it so hard to be intimate with him. Any advice on how to regain attraction? For background we have been together 6 years and share a child, everything was good but things went downhill...

I been bi since I was 15. I also just got out of a relationship with a guy that I was with for the past seven years. I am looking for a best friend or something more, I really don't care. I'm just tried of feeling alone, especially with dealing with the pregnancy and everything.

I am 24 with a 3 year old and 3 month old. I never really knew what I wanted in highschool as far as my life. But I never really gave myself a chance either. I love my babies and their dad but I can’t help but to continue to think about what my life would have been like if I pursued my own wonders. I feel really bad...

I'm 20weeks, and I'm fighting depression. I did feel fine before but now I'm waking up and just wanna cry all day. I don't have many friends, if any tbh. My best friend is my husband and he absolutely amazing but I don't like to burden him with this as all he will do is worry. I just feel really lonely that I dont h...

Don’t get me wrong, I love being a stay at home mum and spending every minute with my daughter but it does get very lonely sometimes. Please tell me I’m not the only one who feels this

With the holidays coming up I’m really just realizing how isolated i feel. I just wish I had that feeling with other people and just friends who were excited about baby with me.

Hey guys! Not sure if any of you are experiencing this.. recently I’ve felt as though it’s so tough to juggle our baby, my career, my relationship and hobbies - pre-baby i was extremely ambitious - I’ve always had a side hustle with social media + i had a podcast. Since having a baby it’s been SO hard to manage ever...

Does anyone else feel this way? I moved a year or so before I had my baby so I'm not very close to family or friends. I thought my mum would be keen to spend time with her grandson and would visit frequently as she had suggested this while I was pregnant, but she seems to have changed her mind. She's retired and l...

Of everything and everyone. The screaming, nagging, whinging, crying. It’s getting too much. I feel so alone, so under valued and under appreciated. I just want to run away.

I'm having an amazing time with my new little person. I'm also exhausted and overwhelmed. I'm struggling to find connections and make new friends, its hard to listen to people talk about their partners at stay and plays etc. I wouldn't give my little girl back for all the money in the world but learning how to be a ...

Anyone else in their 20’s just feeling (specifically 20 or early 20’s) really lonely and lowkey depressed? I feel like I can’t keep a job because my son is so little (9 months) and needs me around a lot at this stage of his life… no money or any income and it’s lowkey depressing 🥺😣anyone else going through the same…

Am I the only one whose family/ kids families are just not involved.. I’m 23 with 3 kids and the only person involved is my mom.. (she’s toxic and abusive/ narcissistic). But she’s all I have.. my kids dads and their families aren’t involved.. I don’t ever get a break.. Me and my kids just have no one to fall back o...

Well I am definitely a caring person that's for sure.. but I definitely forget to take care of myself more than a shower and such.. realizing that I need to make a dentist appointment to get my teeth fixed cause my 2 pregnancies did a fuckin number on me with that..

Has anybody else separated since having their April baby? Around 3 months in my fiancé and partner of 6 years decided to separate. He was not as supportive in my post partum phase as I would of expected and we fell out of love, and I’ve made peace with it a long time ago. I just feel a bit lonely on weekends as ...

Personally, the more I beg for someone whilst they’re not bothered about me, the easier it is for me to get over them. In the end I know I can’t do much more and I know I tried my hardest. It’s almost like ‘keep going until you hate them/can’t go no more’. Thoughts? Let’s discuss?
