Community Posts, Tips & Support on Mental Health

I know the easy answer is to write them down as they happen but I forget when I'm in a state. I need to come up with a list fast because there were things I forgot to tell the mental health team because I didn't remember even when being asked questions

I feel like it’s probably from trauma but the anxiety I have about leaving my children alone with people for even an hour is outrageous. I either know too much or too little about someone to feel comfortable letting them be alone with my kids. Only about 8 people I feel comfortable with and even that’s iffy. My ki...

Anyone else feel like their baby dad just doesn’t look happy with them anymore?

When ladies post for reassurance because their LO can’t do something (eg walk, say words) please don’t comment saying ‘mine does marathons but…’ or ‘mine can recite the entire dictionary but….’ It isn’t what they’re looking for and it isn’t helpful! Sorry to moan but I feel so bad for women (and myself) who want a...

How do you guys find just a little time for yourself? Even if it’s just to the gym for an hour or 2, I have hardly had any time to myself to do anything since my daughter was born last January, she stays at my in laws every Tuesday and that’s now become date night for me and my partner which is great but honestly so...

i know we are all still young and have much more living to do but is your life turning out how you wanted it to?

So I’m the second youngest of 7 kids.. but I feel like I’m the only one out of all of us that can’t have a shit day or be in a shitty mood. I have 1 day where I’m in a bad mood and everyone turns everything on me and says it’s my fault and starts bringing shit that’s not even the problem into the convo? I just wa...

I don’t really know what I’m hoping for with this post but felt like I needed to let it out. Maybe to feel less alone? I love my boys more than anything in the world, I’m happy and I would never want to change them. However, all I’ve ever wanted since having my first boy, is a little girl. I knew my second was a bo...

I enjoyed my life a lot as a childless adult. lol I love motherhood bt my life changed cuz Hubby & I decided to finally have a baby. We would have probably kept pushing growing our family if there was no pandemic bt they shut the whole world down so that forced us to slow down a lot & all of sudden we had all this ...

Heyy girls! I’m a new mom and I came on the app to look for mom friends it feels lonely on this side! When you first had your babies did you know it was gonna be this lonely after?

Hey I know there’s been a lot of posts like this. But I’m really struggling. I’m a SAHM to a 13 month old and a 3 month old. My man is an OTR trucker. He’s gone between 5 and 12 days at a time. I don’t really have family to call. He hasn’t had a paycheck in over two months now (just recently went back to OTR) so I’m...

me personally; I love this quote.

Is a real thing that someone said and if I wasn't worried before, I am now.

Is anyone else here dealing with not having and close family or friends ? We live with my in-laws so my husband has a built in pack, but I’ve never felt very close to his parents ( they are very kind and easy to get along with though ). Also my husbands family just isn’t very emotional and they don’t show much aff...

I have nearly 2 yo and 5 month old. I don’t know anyone else who has two children close together and I find I feel lonely in it… I have friends who have the one child but not two close in age - does anyone else feel this?

Hey guys!! I’m due end of June, is anyone else feeling extremely lonely in there pregnancy? How are you coping with it? I feel so so alone even though I have a partner. I feel like he is not supportive of me in this pregnancy :(

My little boy is 3 and a half months old and I thought maybe by now I would have started to make some mum friends. I've been to baby massage classes and doing tummy time at the moment. Today I tried a new mums cuppa club again, most people already knew each other so I found it a bit cliquey and hard to talk to peo...

Is anyone suddenly finding this whole motherhood and pregnancy journey really lonely? I’ve been feeling really emotional since last night like all my friends are in different stages of their life and we cannot relate so much anymore it’s like the friendship has shifted. I have a 2yr old and I love and adore him so...

This is my first time out- ALONE and overlapping with baby’s bedtime to see a friend’s comedy sketch show. We hadn’t seen each other since September and I needed a break. While I enjoyed myself, I felt so out of place where after everyone was chatting and getting drinks and I’m like it’s getting late, I should hea...
