Feeling alone. Anyone else?

This journey can be so lonely. Sometimes I can’t put my finger on why. I blame it on being the first in my friends / family having a baby. But it’s more than that?

I understand where you are coming from. For me, I think a lot of people make it about the baby? I’m so grateful my daughter is surrounded with love and family. But sometimes I feel alone/ neglected because people don’t ask how I’m feeling. I’m here for you. You are not alone ❤️

it was the same for me, too :( my baby is now 7 months old and i’m trying to make friends who have babies around the same age because i feel like my friends just don’t get it. it sucks.

Totally. I think for me my life came with a lot or changed at a rapid rate too, so maybe just feeling overwhelmed. But yeah not feeling seen in that way is so hard. Thank you I’m here for you too ❤️

I think sometimes when we get pregnant and then have kids there’s this notion that we no longer exist anymore and now everything is about the baby and now the baby comes first and it’s like we’re forced to give up who we were before having a baby and deny ourselves of whatever it is that once made us happy because it’s not about us anymore baby comes first but I don’t think that’s true. Don’t get me wrong our children are important but we come first. If you don’t take care of yourself first and pour into yourself then how can you have anything to give your child. We can’t give what we don’t have. Our children deserve our best but if we’re not at our best we can’t give that. Mental health is so important. I like this app because it gives us a safe space to express ourselves and be there for one another. You’re not alone girl. I see you and I feel you. Do something for yourself. Give yourself grace. You’re doing amazing.
