How to be happy

I’m struggling with coming to terms that I’m an adult. I miss being a kid. I miss how all of my family use to be together and now we’re not. How can you go from being around your siblings and your parents every day to barely seeing each other at all anymore. Now everyone feels distant and separated. The life I once...

Leaving Relationship

Did you leave once your babies got older ? Wondering if anyone has left a relationship once the babies were older due to just being unhappy or just knowing that person isn’t your person despite trying to make it work? Right now I feel like I am sacrificing my happiness for a stable home for my baby but sometimes...

Self-Care Isn’t Out of Reach: Use What You’ve Got!

For most busy moms I chat with, it’s easy for them to list what’s missing when it comes to self-care: - Not enough time - Limited funds - No supportive partner, family, or friends - No self-care activity ideas All of these are real challenges, but focusing on what you don’t have can make it hard to see the opp...

Feeling lonely

Hi my baby is 5 months and I feel incredibly lonely. I have friends and family around but I can’t seem to shake off this feeling of loneliness. I don’t feel depressed but feel like the day comes and goes but I’m still in the same place. Does it get better?

Why do I miss him?

My son’s dad treated me awful. Cheating, manipulative, narcissistic, pathological liar, etc. out 4 years together I did nothing but fight for a dead relationship and cry. After a year of being broken up, why do I still miss him? I don’t want to be with him anymore but sometimes I miss him.

Feeling a bit of a failure

I know it'll pass as some days have been much better than other but wanted to see if anyone can relate. I'm a FTM and compared to what I see online I feel a bit of a failure.

Vent

I have 8 week old twin girls. I’ve really struggled with the adjustment and just being a mum in general. Suffered quite badly with PPD and luckily found support. However, finding two babies still so so challenging every second of the day. From feeding, to burping, to sleeping. Both are so different and hard to mana...

Why in England almost everyone is in benefits?

I know a lot of people that lives off benefits and I wonder how they do it? Not that I wanted to do it but people that have a back pain can even be classed as “disabled” and get benefits! I think is getting out of control

Lonely

I hate how annoyed I can get when my child doesn't go to sleep or wakes up too early. He's clearly frustrated that he can't sleep and then km frustrated with him. I have no support. I feel so alone sometimes.

My colleague is disloyal

Lies to make me look bad. And type that will start crying if you tell them to leave you alone so it makes it look like you're the bad one. How can I tell them where to go without starting world war 3?

Client: “…I’ve already read that book and listened to his podcast.
