I don’t have friends like that I don’t have a support system either but being pregnant and having a depression at the same time I don’t know what to say any more When we’re pregnant we’re lazy when we parent We want to be lazy is what I was told by my partner at this point idk if I should shut down. Idk what t...
How are you all dealing with PPA or intrusive thoughts ? I’m struggling & I really want to stay away from medicine due to a bad experience in the past. Also how long did it last for you? Thanks babes🤍
My very first mural is complete. Friday I will add the finishing touches. I'm so happy that I just went for it and believed in my ability to create. How does this mural make you feel and what do you think? What space do you believe it belongs in?
Since having my son 11 weeks ago, I don't think I've felt more alone and isolated! I have 4 older children who's ages range from 17 to 10 and they're all independent and do their own things and I never felt alone but now I have a baby, I'm feeling like I'm more alone then I was before! I feel like I have no friend...
Is there anyone who is a solo parent and/or going to birth without a partner? I'm currently in a situation which means it's highly like I'll be doing it alone. Some days I feel like I can do it, then others I'm an absolute mess. I've had offers from people to be a birth partner but I don't feel entirely comfortable ...
I sometimes feel like a bad mum because I only want/think I can cope with having 1 baby. Everyone makes you feel like you should give your LO a sibling! I want my LO to have happy/health parents with a positive relationship influence. I feel like having another would have such a knock off effect to those things. Doe...
This postpartum/maternity leave loneliness is kicking my butt!! Send help! Let’s be mom friends 🫶🏼🫶🏼
So I posted it the other day I how I feel like I need to ask for help with my depression and anxiety.I went to doctors and they just gave me details of this website where you need to register so I did and all it is its like reading programme which I loose interest straight away and I don't really take it all on..I g...
Is anyone else experiencing feelings of loneliness and a lack of understanding? I am overjoyed about my pregnancy, and it is the best thing that could have happened to me. I am hopeful that everything will go well this time. I have been signed off from work until at least my 12-week scan, and my husband is working m...
I envy those who "weren't even trying" & those who get to experience the element of surprise. I'm jealous of the friends who got to plan when they wanted to start having children and how many and I'm sad that infertility has robbed me of my friendships, my career choices and who I was.
Tomorrow is my first birthday after having a baby. My child’s father left me a couple months after having the baby, and it’s just gonna be a lonely day for me. I feel like the only person I have is my son and I love him but it just makes me sad that I feel like no one else cares….
Anybody else still finding it hard to get out the house? I’m usually just indoors as my baby cries all the time and is very unsettled to the point that we still haven’t managed to play with toys much as she’s often just so unhappy. It’s just easier staying at home. Anyone else still in the same boat? Please say it’s...
Anyone else feel like they have lost interest in a lot since giving birth? My daughter is 8 months and I’m never in the mood to go out with friends or deal with people much anymore. I’m honestly more content being home rather than going out. I have friends with kids and friends without them. And of course the frien...
I know its normal to feel lonely when pregnant but did anyone feel lonely before pregnancy? Ive had alot go on wherw i cared for my grandparents and even more one one of them died i cared for the other alot more. I felt i lost alot of my social life and my friends, i had covid after my last grandparent died and stil...
I always thought i wanted to have two children but after having my daughter i'm so busy and occupied i really have a feeling i would be happy with just one. My partner said he doesn't mind either way but i also wonder whether i will regret it? I also feel guilt on my daughter as she is really clingy i love spending ...
I posted this somewhere else but I got no response 😅 but I'm really not feeling too great. I'm nervous and I tried calling and no one is picking up the phone.
I had one but I messed up. I've been beating myself up for months. I just feel I won't find anyone else like him.
I’m a single mom to an 8 week old baby boy and I just can’t bring myself to reach out/reply to my friends and people who check in on me anymore. I’m trying to embrace new motherhood, but it’s taken a conscious effort for me to practice gratitude and contentment in this new role. I think I’ve started avoiding friends...
My little girl is 2 now and i don’t feel like I’ve got many friends at all. I’ve made two mum friends who are nice but the only thing I have in common is that we have children the same age. My old mates have lost touch. Feel like I haven’t met my gang and I also find it really hard to mate friends. Anyone else feel...
I’m 24 weeks pregnant and just feel miserable! I’m not sure why but i just constantly feel sad and flat and moody and miserable. I don’t enjoy doing things anymore everything is effort and a chore. My boyfriend is supportive and lovely but I just feel so guilty that I’m so rubbish to be around and boring. Anyone els...
