Feeling empty / lack of energy

I have been wanting to get a parttime job to get out of the house. Both jobs I've applied for had me do 2 interviews, but didn't get either of them. It has bummed me out. I started my own business and I can't get anyone to be models. I'm trying to sell items on poshmark, but it won't allow me to do live shows at thi...

Never enough

Have such mum guilt.. I just feel I don’t do enough with my little one. I don’t drive and suffer with bad anxiety so we don’t go out very much during the week (do try to at weekends with my partner and make the most of it) just feel like my little girl is stuck inside and bored 😔

Feeling so fed up

Everything I read or hear is just new mums loving life. I go to baby groups and everyone seems to be pretty happy. If I’m honest as much as I absolutely love my baby to bits I also really hate the days they are so long and I’m just really fed up. I cry approximately 3 times each day and just don’t feel I’m loving it...

Finally free…..where do I go from here?

I was able to finally get my baby daddy out my apartment and I can’t be happier than ever about it.

I’m happy but I also feel weird, men are scary in so m...

If I see "no negative comments" on a post where someone is asking for advice/help again, I'm going to SCREAM

Because so often it's someone who NEEDS to hear the truth but when you're honest, they say you're being negative. Like okay girl, why even ask for help when you only want your own thoughts and opinions validated???
