How has anyone done it? I'm having such a hard time 😵‍💫

Does anyone else feel really lonely right now? I didn’t have a big circle of friends before falling pregnant but I think the fact that I’m only 21 and could meet people at uni or on nights out or through friends used to put me at ease. I loved and still love being social and I love to be out of the house. I’ve since...

Feel awful saying this but I sometimes wonder if I’m too selfish to have a child. I really miss having my time and just being able to do things alone. I love spending time with my LO but I do still miss parts of my life before them. Does anyone else feel like this ?

How are you coping? I’m struggling so bad.. I’m crying multiple times a day, and just at the point where I feel almost numb. Still got pretty severe postpartum depression and just struggling to function and be a mum. Feel like the worst mum in the world 24/7. I’m lonely.. I have 1 friend that I talk to daily but oth...

I’m not really an anxious person but I’m finding myself feeling stressed in public places and only feel safe at home or in my car. It’s heartbreaking that we have come to this, I’ve never felt like this.

I can’t hold a single thought around my kids at the minute, non stop bloody whinging and chaos causing. I want to curl up in to a ball and give up on life. I can’t function.

I’m very lucky to have a nanny to help me out with my 5 month old baby. However whenever she’s here I just feel so empty and useless. I go immediately into a zero motivation hole and just start scrolling my phone in bed. When she’s gone I’m motivated and busy taking care of my baby and family. Cleaning, cooking, s...

I have help and my partner is a great Dad but naturally as my baby’s mother it’s always me leading the way with everything. Only me who she will settle for, only me who can tell exactly what’s wrong with her, only me who gets up in the night etc etc. and I’m just finding it so overwhelmingly lonely. I’m so tired and...

I was anticipating baby being here by now, needless to say I am boreddd, what are we all doing to fill the days?

I’m grateful for life and all that I’m blessed with but honestly life is not easy!! Right now I would love to press pause and just breathe for a second…Who can relate?

Before I had my beautiful baby girl I had friends coming out of my ears, but since finding out and having her all of my friends have all slowly dropped off one by one and as a teen mum I find it harder on these types of apps to meet people and I honestly don’t know what to do anymore, I’m just finding motherhood so ...

I love my kids more than anything, but I feel so lonely. After I get them down at night, embarrassing to say, but it would be nice to have someone to hold and just sit on the sofa with. I had a conversation with a male friend recently who mentioned all these things he would do if he dated someone even though he is s...

Hey girlies, quick question/rant My daughter is about to be 2 in November. I’m a stay at home mom and haven’t been back to work since I gave birth. My boyfriend takes care of all the bills/everything we need and we’re not struggling so I feel as though I got comfortable. With my girl finally about to be 2, I feel i...

I feel sad. My friends have left me behind for some reason maybe it’s because I became a mum said no to a few events and focused on my child. They make plans like going to the zoo with the kids and I’m not even thought about. Constant stories on social media posting pictures calling themselves best friends and I’m n...

anybody on any social media’s? i’d really love some mum friends because i’ve truly never experienced loneliness until i fell pregnant and my friends left x

Is the heat affecting anyone else

Does anyone else feel super lonely since becoming a mummy? I love my LO so much but I honestly feel I am a full time mum, if my partner is not at work, he is online gaming or out seeing his friends, yet I don't have the freedom to do that. If I wanted to see anyone in the week, I'd have to bring my LO unless it's a ...

Little boy has always been a bit clingy but I swear it's getting worse! Dad is always around, shower involved but joy literally only wants me. I leave the room he cries, I come back into the room where is happily playing with dad or big sister, he cries. He doesn't leave me alone. It's sweet but its exhausting. ...

Does anyone else really feel like they’ve lost themselves to being a mum. It’s the best thing and I love my little girl endlessly but I just don’t feel like me anymore I feel like that spark in me has just gone. My partner works all kinds of hours but he just sits in work and does nothing then goes out on a Tuesday ...

Sometimes I get so depressed I daydream about living a life completely different from mine. A life where a travel all over the world, or any scenario where I have no responsibilities at all and no one relying on me. A life much more spontaneous and exciting. It makes me feel like a POS and a failure to my daughter. ...
