I lost my mom in my early 20s. When I got pregnant I mourned that my kids would grow up without her. But now as they are close to 3 I feel so incredibly lonely and sad. I now grieve having to raise children without her. My dad and aunt are around and help. But there are so many times where I know things would have j...
Hi I am at my lowest this is a cry for help I need someone to tell me it’s all going to be okay I don’t want to live anymore but I know I need to for my child.
Is anyone else just at a point now of being so bored and alone? I have no family and only one friend. I see her rarely but she doesn’t have children so usually I take my boy and then we’re a bit limited. My partner is literally all I’ve got. Which is fine, until he’s at work. Or when he comes home from work and is t...
Noone in my community wants me alive. I went through more then many and no one even cares about my son either. I guess I was only meant to be raped, and traumatized for being born.
Bit of background I was very social from 18-26. I (29) now live with my fiancée and 2 daughters (2 and 6 mo) 2 1/2 hours away from my hometown. I had a best friend for 11 years. It took me a while to realise how toxic it was. She would constantly ask for money and never give it back. Tell me she had a bad day so I’d...
Am I the only one who has a mental breakdown at least once a day ?

I’m 36+5 and I’m finding I’m really irritable and emotional about things like my patience has gone, I’m getting annoyed at the smallest things possible and will cry about things that I don’t need to - hoping I’m not alone?!
Does anyone else have someone in their life that constantly talks about wanting to help you out (with kids, preparing for new baby, etc.), wants to make things easier for you, etc, but when you actually ask for a favor (which I rarely do) they “forget” to respond to your text or act like it’s an inconvenience? I’m ...
Does anyone else feel the way I do? As a single mom, I work full time, take my son to school. Tuition is 340 every two weeks, I live in a one bedroom apartment and pay $1320 a month take care of all expenses etc and still feel like I’m always having less and less for me. I am very responsible and frugal with my mon...
"Here’s the painful pattern that emerged from my research with men: We ask them to be vulnerable, we beg them to let us in, and we plead with them to tell us when they’re afraid, but the truth is that most women can’t stomach it. In those moments when real vulnerability happens in men, most of us recoil with fear an...
Does anyone else feel really guilty for sitting inside with little one on a day like today? We tried going out for a little walk earlier and it was just too hot so now we’re just sat in the house, I feel so bad for not taking little one out but I just don’t have the energy 🥲
I am feeling so lonely. I'm a SAHM to two kids a 3 1/2 yr old and a 8 month old. My son has been difficult since he came into this world. I love him so much but he has been such a challenge and continues to be. My daughter (8mnths) has been so easy it's been nice. But it's just me pretty much all the time because m...
Lately, I’ve been feeling so lonely, like no one truly understands. I have everything I need, my husband works so hard to provide for us, and I’m grateful but I still can’t shake this sadness, and that makes me feel guilty. As a stay at home mom, my days feel repetitive, like I’m just waiting for my husband to co...
Hear me out! I'm enjoying my newborn and finding out feet over the past couple of weeks has been full of love albeit challenging! But one thing that I wasn't prepared for is how mundane and boring it is, newborns are boring! Lol. Is anyone else finding the same or should I feel ashamed in thinking this?
I'm 3 weeks PP, my Husband returned to work this week but my Mum has been coming over to help out. We're still trying to work out a routine. My little girl won't really settle for a nap unless she's on me. I've felt really teary and homesick for a couple of days. I love my little girl so much but I also feel like I'...
