Community Posts, Tips & Support on Mental Health

I'm pretty much in the house all day and have nobody to talk to. My mental health lately is starting to take a toll and I'm currently in between therapies right now. I've been feeling very lonely even though my son is home with me all day. Is there anyone who'd like to chat? Anyone closeby?

Is anyone else on maternity leave with no family or friends around them? Myself, my partner and our children uprooted a few years back.

Honestly how are people coping when they don’t have support? I’m not a single parent but feel like I may as well be one. My other half works ridiculously long hours so we rarely see him. My family live far away. My baby on the whole is easily pleased and doesn’t have any issues such as reflux/wanting to be carried a...

I love my daughter so much, she’s amazing, she’s an easy baby, good sleeper, relaxed (sorry to those who haven’t got it this good at the moment) … but sometimes I just have moments were I don’t want to be a mum anymore, I don’t want to be a wife, I want to be so selfish and don’t want to answer to anyone. I don’t w...

How are you? We’ve been finding it really difficult lately. Hot sun, spent with baby alone while one of us works. Clutching at anything we can do with the baby alone but at 13m it feels so limited.
