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?

I’m a first time mum to a 4 month old baby girl. I love my baby to bits but sometimes I mourn my past life and wish I never had a baby. I never realised how difficult it would be and how much my life would change. I feel like I can never go back to my old life and there’s so much sacrifices I will have to keep makin...

Days like today I wish I had a "village". Someone i could trust to take my kids so I can catch up on stuff and just relax for little bit. I'm 13 weeks pregnant today and I just want to not do anything. Not have my kids whining at me or fighting over the same toy, not having to make 3 meals plus snacks, just not move...

Anyone feel like they lost themselves after having a baby? I don’t want to go out, it’s not as fun, I use to drink like a fish in the sea.. I don’t drink anymore besides wine from time to time, I always had my nails and hair done, I’m literally a bum all day ever day now. Nothing seems fun anymore cause before I was...

It’s working, I think it’s stopping my negative thoughts?! Like I genuinely have a block?! I have the cutest bracelet with it on. Just wanted to say Thank you 🤍 I’ve bought rose quartz too. It feels Like what antidepressant s do! (Don’t like taking them now at all but have done in past)

Ok so does anyone else here live far away from family and find yourself feeling lonely or homesick at times?? I moved away from home when I got married 6 years ago (he was in the Navy and stationed 8 hours away). And we’ve basically lived long distance from family ever since. We recently moved again, this time a b...

Guys this is gonna sound mental but I suffer with such bad anxiety like anything will make me worry. N I’ve just rang into work coz I don’t feel great for my shift tomorrow and the nurse on the phone deffo sounded off with me. Can someone just tell me I’m being stupid and that there’s nothing work can say or do. Nev...

I've always had thoughts in the back of my mind what it would be like to be with a woman. I'm single. My boy friend passed away. Very lonely. Any one want to chat? Thank you for reading. ❤️

Hey Beauties! Just checking in. How is your week? How are you holding up? The Holidays are tough for me bc i dont have extended family worth my peace. School is kicking my butt, the terrible 2s are worse this time and I think my anxiety has been triggered again 🤦‍♀️ All in all some days are easier than others.

is it just me or is it so lonely being a new mum. i’ve lost all my friends, i spend 99% of my time at home alone. my social anxiety is getting worse because i only have myself as company. i’m petrified to go to a mum group, it’s so bad i spend half my morning throwing up and i don’t even go. i’m so lonely 😭…

I’ve started working from home now being 34 weeks pregnant which i’m so glad about but its been a week and starting to experience a sense of loneliness and depression from being home all day on my own until hubby gets home. I think mentally i’m so used to being in an office space and socialising but now i’m just sit...
