My 2nd is 3 months old and this time round I feel so lonely. None of my friends have children and I’m making a lot of effort to go to groups and out myself in situations that out of my comfort zone to try and make some mum friends but I’m not having much luck. I wish I had other people to talk to about my children...

Feel like motherhood has been such a lonely journey for me so far. I only really have 1 friend from childhood, her kids are much older than my toddler. I am on this app but no one talks, I message first and reply to ones who message me and nothing. I go to playgroups, and have been to baby music and sensory classes ...

Hello all, how are you coping with the lack of sleep? Is anyone else feeling really teary? I had a moment this morning where I felt I really can’t do this. Feels slightly relentless right now. For context my baby is 4 weeks. Just looking for advice or support really as this whole new mum thing can feel quite lonely....

Anyone else feeling this way?

Title is self explanatory. My partner is going on a lads holiday for 4 nights and I’m left with a teething baby. I’m so worried about how I’m going to cope alone :( Even little things at night like if my baby wakes up he usually helps me give calpol etc. I know a lot of women are single mothers so this sounds path...

Finding my equal 💕 finding my tribe 🤍

So I’m doing this alone, I obviously have friends and family but, in a sense of doing it in a partnership or not .. I’m on my own. It’s for the best (not my decision) but I can’t help but feel so so anxious about it. I’d never realised actually how isolating pregnancy is? It’s quite lonely and although I have amaz...

My son is 3 he has speech delay, social communication difficulties and sensory processing disorder. I feel I have hardly any friends anymore, a friend that I do have invited us both to her sons 5th birthday party. My Son had a meltdown eventually calmed him down but then barely any of my so called friends who were ...

Is it normal to feel like you need time away from your kids and partner? I feel guilty feeling like this has I work full time and only get the weekends with our family, but I’m starting to feel like I’ve lost myself, I know I am more then just a partner and a mum but I can’t find her!

Idk why but I feel lonely and sad that it’s heavy in my chest. Tomorrow is Mother’s Day idk why I feel this type of way 😔😔😔

Missing the old me I feel fat and ugly I don’t have my confidence back and I’m 3 months pp. I hate the stretch marks and my C-section scars. Does anyone else feel this way how do I get out of this funk?

Anyone else feel like they’ve kind of lost themselves? My life revolves around my little one & I wouldn’t trade it for the world, but idk who I am anymore. I feel it extra since I exclusively breastfeed/nurse right now so I’m literally her life source. Just wondering if anyone else feels it & can relate. I know it’s...

Please tell me that I am not the only one! I am having a really hard time loving my kids. I love them because I have to, not because I want to. They ruin everything and I am finding myself hating and resenting them more than anything. Don’t get me wrong I provide and take care of them but thats because I have too. I...

Lately I find myself wondering how nice and easy my life would be without my 5 month old baby. I am constantly thinking about my baby, when I go out I miss her, I love holding her, seeing her. But then I wonder do I even love her if I find myself wondering about easy life without her. Can anyone relate? I am so lost

I'm sure a few will be able to relate to the title, in a committed relationship but feel like a single parent. I am always alone, I do it all and I am so so lonely I am really starting to feel it How do we cope? And get past the lonely

Have you ever wanted to plan a disappearing act from all your family!! Like I am seriously on one of those missions to get accomplished because I feel like I am taken for granted by all of them....I just wanna drop my toddler off to someone I trust and let the older kids and my boyfriend figure the shit out for a fe...

I'm just so damn tired.... I'm just not enough and I'll never be enough... I just want to give up...

This has been bothering me for some time and I thought I'd share. I have around 5/6 very good friends that I have known for a long time and shared many milestones with. I was the first friend to get married/ pregnant ( I fell pregnant straight after the wedding). I slowly noticed my friends drifting away, but I alwa...

Is anyone else struggling so much with their pregnancy mentally? I could really do with somebody to talk to x

My boy is coming up to 7 months and I love love love him to death. We have really good days, going for walks, looking at things and playing and I honestly love it. His dad is at work from 7am till 6pm so we’re on our own pretty much all day. I don’t have family around and my partners parents aren’t that interested (...
