Anyone else really losing hope? It’s so depressing, such an emotional rollercoaster and so lonely

Went on a ‘mums’ night out with a bunch of mums I didn’t know and left feeling like I’m not mumming. They were all very much into co-sleeping, breastfeeding, no routines and my boy happily sleeps in his own room, is bottle fed and sleeps like a champ in a set routine. But it’s ’not how nature intended’. I’m sos...

Anyone else feel really alone in terms of medical help since birth? I’m a first time mum and I was discharged from hospital within 24 hours of my c-section.

I HATE that I have to share my baby with his father and his family. I’m not a single mom, my child’s father and I are together, but I get so much anxiety when my baby is with his dad or his dad’s family, because I feel like no one can take care of and protect him the way I do. I often find myself wishing to be a si...

I’m at a point in my life that nothing good ever happens. My family has disowned me and I have no friends. The only people I have is my husband and daughter. I want to give up so much.

I’m feeling very sad and lonely today. It’s the Fourth and we’re supposed to be celebrating with friends and family, but that’s not happening for us. My friends and family are over an hour away, and I’m new to my SO’s area and I don’t have any friends here. All of his friends either don’t have kids or don’t invite u...

I don’t know why im making this post. I just want to scream and let it all out but I’m ashamed. I feel so utterly worthless and ugly. I can’t stand my self and I really don’t even like my self. I can’t sleep and my days are just the same thing over and over. I’m so bloody alone and i genuinely have no one. I bloo...

So ever since having my little girl who is now 2 and a half I have not wanted to be touched by anyone not even a hug which is now affecting my relationship. I love my partner but just cannot stand to be touch. Does anyone else feel like this? Or got any ideas on how to get over it?

Until you realize that “village” is just everyone hanging around while you’re still exhausted and doing everything mostly alone

I feel like I’m happy with just one baby, I love my daughter but this experience has been really draining for me physically and emotionally, is anyone else on the same page as me? What are your thoughts on just having one baby? I feel like everyone keep telling me that I should have another one so my daughter doesn’...

Hey all Recently finished my degree and feeling a bit lost-don’t know whether it’s because there are a lot of changes happening/about to happen or because I became a bit of a hermit while studying (was a challenge on top of being a mum - tiring). Friends I do have have moved away, busy with their own lives (most s...

I'm at that stage where I just want her here but also so bored (38+6) I've got lots I could and should be doing but I'm so knackered and hurt everywhere. I'm too tired to read and hurt too much to go for walks or drive anywhere (thank PGP and painful feet for that). I know I should probably just be resting but ther...
