They are a good friend for the most part. But I feel drained some days around them. Other times it’s normal
I’m currently 31 weeks pregnant and am shamelessly hoping to find the yin to my yang. I recently lost an incredibly close friendship of 9 years with one of the most amazing and beautiful souls I’ve ever known. Sure, I have other girlfriends and while I admire them and appreciate their friendship, it’s just not the s...
Is anyone else super anxious about leaving the house alone with their LO? I’ve only left the house alone once since they arrived and there are 10 weeks old. I don’t drive and with the weather having been awful I feel totally trapped. I don’t feel like I’m being a grown up, proper mum.
Does anyone else just feel overwhelmed with having to go out everyday and thinking of where to go? I am a bit of a home bird anyway, but I don't know if its because I'm feeling a bit low but it makes me really anxious thinking about it. We attend 2 baby classes each week and that's fine but I hate thinking about whi...
I am 6 months pp, I don't have a lot of friends (the friends I do have don't have children and work full time) so in the week I feel so lonely because it's only really me and my LO. I see my parents once a week and go to a baby class once a week but in the baby class everyone was already in their little cliques, eit...
I’m talking about getting a job, a new place, starting fresh without help or support from anyone.
I dreamed about being a mom and having children since I was little, but now that I am one, I don’t like it. I love my child, but my life has changed so much and I miss my life pre children. Am I the only one who regrets having kids?
Just to lighten the mood, which superpower would you choose?
I wondered if anyone on here feels they are happy to only have one child? My heart would love a second, but I don’t feel I could go through the newborn and baby stage all over again whilst still meeting my current son’s needs. I am the only person out of my friends, family and people on here who doesn’t feel able to...
I used to think that if I just worked harder, pushed through, and forced myself to be more disciplined, I'd finally get the results I wanted. But no matter how much I did, I still felt stuck. ☹️ Stuck in self-doubt. ☹️ Stuck second-guessing myself. ☹️ Stuck wondering why success felt so easy for others but so far a...
Talk to. Usually I keep my feelings to myself but lately I’ve been being vulnerable to the people I thought loved me. I know the Bible says it’s not good for man to be alone. That’s why I think I’m being demonically attacked. I yearn so bad for community, a spouse, sisterhood. I try to extend myself but people alwa...
Going through a hard season right now, being a single momma with depression/anxiety can be tough ...Anybody else in a similar situation? I don't have any friends to relate to right now. It would be nice to give and receive some support.
Please don’t get me wrong I love my LG, she’s now 7months. I longed for her, I prayed for her and she is wonderful. She’s healthy, cute super cheeky; not all that easy but I love her to pieces. BUT I find Mat life so lonely and lacking in purpose. There’s plenty of confounding things going on like my husband worki...
Has anybody ever had a D&C not go to plan? Feeling lonely and need somebody to talk to who understands. Thank you x
I know women after having kids are juggling, struggling, craving for me time including me because Indian men mostly are typical being which loads this duty to the mother or may be we just take that responsibility all alone…I wonder how other nationalities are doing ??? Is your spouse helping you with the journey o...
Hey mommas, does it feel worth it to actually talk about your PPD, rage, and anxiety to people? Cause for me it doesn’t feel worth it. I always get judged for it or it completely ignored/dismissed quickly cause I act fine in public or around my family…but honestly I’m struggling…. I try reaching out to a few other m...
