Anyone else feel like they’re lost in work/parent life that they don’t have much of a social life?! 😂 Anyone up for occasional girls nights out? 💃🏼🥂

What do you do when feeling low? (If you do) Today had been one of those days and I feel super lonely and sad… I tried yoga and played some music while cooking but doesn’t seem to help much.

Is there any people out there that feels this same way?? I’ve been so caught up in motherhood I forgot how to interact with adult humans, my long time friend recently reached out and we haven’t spoken in over a year and she had so much going on all movies she’s into books she’s reading, places she’s going drinks sh...

Help ! I’m feeling resentful that I married and had a child with someone who had a daughter . I regret it almost every single day . I hate the dynamics of a blended home . No I’m not saying I hate my step daughter . I’m saying I hate the challenges that come along with it . I thought initially that being involved wi...

I’m new to the area where I currently live and I have been to a couple of baby groups and hope to meet some other mom friends, but I haven’t met anyone I can connect with, and somehow always feel like the odd one in a group setting, I feel quite lonely , anyone else?

Sometimes I feel like maternity leave isn’t what I pictured. I used to dream of being at home with a baby all day but the reality is quite different. I feel awful for saying this because I love my baby so much, but she can be quite hard work at times, she moans and cries a lot and is hard to entertain. My husband wo...

Im not usually the mum who wont leave their baby- have left her loads since she was tiny (nails etc) and built up to hen weekend etc so Im usually pretty chill. But putting her in her own room is like a mental block for me, its the only thing I just cant do even though she is probably ready! Anyone else? I feel like...

My husband and I have been TTC for 18 months and we had a consultation after fertility tests, where we were told everything was good. I know it’s great news, but I just can’t help but feel so sad. Is this normal? I have been struggling a lot recently; it feels like everyone around me is getting pregnant, and I onl...

Going through a major depressive time and in the process have started to lose myself. I look in the mirror and don't know who I am anymore...I feel so dull and unattractive and Everytime I try to get out of this funk my healthy habit (eating right, working out, being active/productive and working on my goals) only l...

Hi. Anyone else feeling very lonely and wondering if having a baby was the right thing to do? I miss my old life and freedom so much! When the afternoon gets here I get really sad and lonely and start getting anxious that this is my life forever and I’ll never have any alone time or freedom again.

Hi all So my LO is now around 2 weeks old. We have had endless amounts of visitors to the house all of who which mean well with offers of help, food and baby minding. However does anyone else feel like it’s all a bit much and then feel guilty for feeling that way as they are only wanting to help. However I feel tha...

Anybody else just have those days where they don’t want to be a mom ? Some days are just soooo frustrating when you are the primary parent and you do everything most days. I’m just so exhausted. I barely get a break, don’t have friends to even have a night out. It’s just me and my toddler 🙃

when did you find your solid friends in motherhood? im so jealous of everyone that has their one solid mom friend & i feel so isolated and lonely with no one to talk to about my baby other than family. Im only 21 so i feel like this is a super weird stage for me.

Hey! Anyone else getting separation anxiety and an urge to constantly be around their partner? I don’t know what is up with me is it my hormones or what 🫠25 weeks today 🤍

I've been different my whole life and I've never wanted to be necessarily. I'm the og hipster and have always been a influencer type person even before social media. But I got some mad haters, especially my inlaws because I encourage my husband who is a wild ass man but also like super creative and he worked his ass...

Just wondering what is considered normal or not. My son does not seem to care when we’re reunited or does not miss me when I’m gone. Is this normal ?

Idk if it’s normal to just feel so gloomy & over it but the way people portray their lives & significant others makes me feel like I can’t relate. Like I’m bored, feel overwhelmed and stuck everyday.

I’m so happy. But feel so lonely in new motherhood. And can’t believe I don’t have someone to go thru this with. It just bums me out.

All I am is a mom. A fucking mom. I love being a mom but that's all I am. I have no friends, family, anything. I cry all the time because I'm so lonely and miserable.

Anyone else have a toddler who is suddenly very needy. Crying when you aren’t holding him and near him at all times and when someone leaves the room he loses it?
