Am I bugging or did anyone else lose friendships while being pregnant? And not like falling out with people just people you were close with just distancing from you with no explanation ?

Ever just feel like you’re screaming for help but nobody hears you? This silent battle sucks.. I have no family support or friends that understand. My partner is my only source of support… but it’s hard to go to him too.

Anybody else sick of there husband/boyfriend doing absolutely FUCK ALL or am I the only one?

I never have no social battery because my social battery is drained because I’m a single parent with no support. It’s so draining just being alone all the time with my son. I miss being left alone & the silence. I constantly have a headache and I’m constantly irritated by my child.

I was doing so good after I got out of the newborn trenches, but I feel it coming back it seems. I moved to a new state and lost my small “village,” on top of that. I’m so sick of pumping, the teething screeches are killing me (and yes I do every suggested thing for teething,) and motherhood is so lonely / repetitiv...

I was speaking with a coworker of mine and she made a couple comments that rubbed me the wrong way because she "assumed" we both have degrees. We were talking about her upcoming class reunion and she made a statement saying "Well nobody in my class has really done anything in their life....well made a few. One got...

I took some photos today & I wish I was feeling better my face got so fat , I can’t even feel myself like how I used to 🥲 I’m blessed to be having my baby girl but I can’t wait to feel secure about y self again 😩

Stop trying to fix & inspire others…Instead focus on Becoming someone who you’re inspired by! Babe,The journey is not about the destination…It’s about who you *become* on your way to the destination… The more full of yourself you are, the less full you are of other people’s stories & limitations. Drop “🔥🔥” if…

When I bring up the things I feel I’m doing alone in my partnership… my partner uses the word competition… mentioning “everything’s a competition to you” for example.. I know the context is vague but I’m not coming from a place of “one upping” the other person.. I literally feel like a slave in my own home because I...

What sort of things are you doing to help you feel more put together but on a limited timeframe? I got my hair done for the first time in over 4 years a few weeks ago and it got me thinking I want to keep doing these things for myself but I don’t know what exactly. Any ideas?

I had my beautiful baby boy on the 1st march and even from that day I just feel empty. I complained so much while I was pregnant but now there's nothing more I want. I don't think it helps that babies grow so fast. I cry almost daily seeing how big my little boy is he was only little for such a short amount of time ...

Anyone else feel lonely? I only have 3 months left of my mat leave and I’m feeling a bit down. My friends on mat leave seem to be out and about with their other friends every single day and I feel like I don’t really have anyone. It doesn’t usually bother me but feeling a bit rubbish about it at the moment.

From the moment I fell pregnant I knew it was a girl. Deep inside I knew I was growing my best friend, my mini me. Anyone else feel like this. I want to spend the rest of my life making her feel special and beautiful

Lately I’ve been feeling alone more and more, an all my family lives in California I just have my boyfriend out here and even with him I feel so alone i just want to be appreciated and valued.

Went for an interview and didnt get it. Was surprised I didn’t as it seemed to have gone well. Now feeling down. Any suggestions to pick myself up or any encouraging words?

First time mum to a 12 week old and it’s so lonely as friends don’t have babies yet. What are people doing to get out of the house other than walks 494838x a day?? Does anyone else feel like this? I dread the days my mum or mother in law aren’t around to come over for just adult conversation and find myself just clo...

My mother died when I was 23 and I'm 31 now and I really need her right now ..... does anyone feel sad/guilty that you not enjoying pregnancy/ down?

I've not been alone in a while with just me and my child. My husband is working and will be 45 minutes away and my mother will be 45minutes the other direction. I'm extremely terrified of being alone today I can't sleep this is in my mind heavy and I feel like I may end up in the hospital. Can anyone help me? Talk t...

Is there anyone out there whose mom passed away and you feel so alone? Like you don’t have anyone to help guide you? I’m a FTM and I feel so alone with out my mommy. She was literally my best friend and I feel so lost now that I have a baby girl. Can anyone relate?

How does everyone feel about being a mum? I love my baby obviously, he’s 13 weeks. But I find the days boring sometimes, and everyday just feels the same. I also miss my old life and being able to do things when I want, like shower, nap, go for a walk, now I have to plan everything around him. And sometimes feels ov...
