Anyone else?

I asked my best friend what’s changed since I had a baby…. I thought being off work I’d see her loads more, if anything iv seen her less. I’m still able to leave my baby for weekday dinners as I pump, but when I pointed it out I got “I’m letting you just adjust to life” my boys 5 months old, I’m adjusted as much as ...

Are any of you struggling with your SO A part of me isn’t happy but then it’s also like we have a baby and just gotta get through the rough… but some days I just wanna leave and then other days I’m super happy

Hey 🥰 Since me becoming a mum, My best friend of about 15 years has become so distant. I have tried so hard to make effort & reach out to her , she picks & chooses when she wants to talk to me. She has seen my baby once in 3 months & barely asks anything about them. Same when I was pregnant, we hardly saw each…

How do people do it (separated) and doing alternated Christmases with their kids. I don't have any other family and me and their dad don't have contact. I can't imagine being away from them and on my own. It's effecting me emotionally. Any positive advice or experience would be helpful.

Anyone else feeling ugly since becoming a mom? I feel like I never have time to even take a nice long shower and just get ready. I used to do my eyebrows once a week, cut my nails , straighten my hair and actually shaved most of my body. Now I’m so exhausted to take a shower, even when my husband offers to take care...

I am quite an outgoing and social person and I feel like my life's completely changed. I'm grateful for the pregnancy I really am, we tried for such a long time, but I just feel so alone. Anyone else feel anything similar? I feel like my friends and family don't understand and just think I'm being dramatic.

You know, during christmas, we spend so much time working our butts off and doing everything that it really has left me feeling so lonely. I have friends, but you never see them around this time of year too much. If you're a working mom, it's nothing but work and try to get things done and stress out and anxiety a...

Motherhood can be lonely… Anyone else find it hard? Xx

I have absolutely lost all desire to do anything other than sit with my baby. I can’t remember what I enjoy and I would rather play wjth my son than watch tv with my partner etc. this is my first baby. Is it normal to feel like this?

I’ve been suffering with anxiety and been off work and now I just feel like work is just being off and not happy. But surely my health comes first right? Or am I being naive?

Anyone else finding that new motherhood seems to be the fastest way to alienate childless friends or lose friendships through changing priorities? Baby is not quite 4 weeks old and several friends have texted in the last few days complaining I either don’t have time for them, don’t text back, or sound insincere whe...

I don't have any friends. We moved to a new city two years ago and I still have not found any friends and the previous friendships fizzled out due to distance. I feel like I really tried, especially since having my little boy. I met up with a few women from this app and went to multiple baby groups, and even though ...

My understanding this morning. I'm not thrilled but I'm also not sad.

Hey it's not about a romantic relationship so I hope it's okay, just need some feedback. My baby is 9 months, was conceived by a hook up who isn't involved so I've been a single mom the whole time and my small group of friends mostly doesn't have kids and are in more of a party/hangouts/having fun life stage. Plea...

How do people get over the thought of not having more children because your partner doesn’t want another? I know for most they are fine with that, but I feel it deep in my soul that im meant to be a Mum of 3 and my journey is not done. I can’t bare the thought of my baby being my last one. Advice or reassurance woul...

I'm really struggling this week. I cant stand any of my clothes I have, the way I look, my hair my face, my body. I just feel completely lost in who I am right now. Every picture I see of myself I scrutinise recently too. My life is so busy with 4 kids at home , 2 are my step children who are with us 50% and I'm jus...

What mental illness would cause someone to be supportive when times are good then when you hit a bump in the road in life they do anything to try to break you down mentally? Like hit way below the belt? Or is this just secret animosity?
