Not sure if it’s just a bad day, but feeling a bit fed up. Not so much the symptoms, more that I feel a bit lonely! My husband and I are connected and happy - but don’t feel like I’m getting what I need elsewhere 😞 My friends either are too busy to meet up so I can actually share the news with them (!) or just…

Being a parent has brought so much joy to my life. When we first had our child we lived in my hometown. We had our parents, some friends, and we got to see them. My husband and I went on different schedules so somebody could be with our baby. No daycares had space. We spent less time with each other. The time we did...

Did any other first time moms deal with friends absolutely disappearing after you announced your pregnancy? The one really close friend I had has just dropped off the face of the earth and I feel like I’m always having to initiate contact 🙃 I’m definitely an introvert and can live with my fiancé being my only…

I've been having a really hard time with my mental/ emotional health. I feel lost, so far removed from myself and out of control with my emotions. I just don't know what to do. I don't have family here. My man is almost always at work to support our family while I care for our 9 month old son. I have a history of de...

Decided to take my 8 month old out to softball by myself for the first time and my anxiety is so high right now! 😅 I live in a predominantly white area and always get looked at for being a hijabi, want to go home so bad.. but bearing through it as he is having such a good time lol

I’m 8 months pregnant, and feel really lonely. Does anyone else??? I can’t do much, have to avoid so many spots due to noise, pollution and being in the right environments for the baby. I’m not working now so I have even less of a desire to go out to restaurants since I’m trying to conserve my money for post pregnan...

I’ve been going through a tough time lately after I had a 4th miscarriage. It’s been 4 weeks since I lost the baby and had to have surgery and just now I realized not even one of my friends has texted me to check on me, ask to go out with the kids or even ask how my pregnancy is going (haven’t told them about the mi...

Feeling so alone. Just wondering if anyone is feeling the same? I’m under the perinatal mental health team as I previously had post natal depression and despite feeling great the first 2 weeks, it’s drastically gone downhill and I feel absolutely dreadful. I spoke to HV and perinatal team today so I’ve made them a...

I closed my eyes to do a little mindfulness and realized there’s pains in my chest area and I feel a huge void in my chest. I thought about posting incognito but I don’t see a point. I feel extremely lonely. I talk to a lot of people but the conversations don’t fulfill me. I don’t feel cared for. People just take wh...

Currently on maternity leave with twin girls. Both 4 months and absolute dream. However some days get very lonely, I don't drive or own a car so limited to where I can go. I often go to the shops, lots of walking to parks for coffee and the girls love being outside. Both are sociable when around family and friends. ...

Friends without kids that don’t understand why you’re tired all the time and you’re still going through the emotional rollercoaster so can’t really commit on hanging out (to do nothing basically) a few days in advance because you don’t know how you’ll feel that day, cause maybe you would just wanna be at home with y...
