None of my family including my siblings invited my husband and I for thanksgiving. I found out they were getting together for dinner by my youngest sister. None of my siblings have even reached out since their first newphew (my son) was born. Only my youngest sister. Should we bother to stop by their house or stay h...

Hey all Anyone feel like motherhood can be lonely? Anyone from Scotland

Seems like nothing is going well for me. I feel like I have no purpose. I wanted to do something new, get out more by applying to daycare jobs/Working with Children so my kids can also stay close. No good outcomes. Then I wanted another child and after a good conversation with my husband, it looks like ill he taking...

I’m really struggling in life lately with my 10 month old son. Me and his dad are going through a divorce after being together for 3 years. It was very unexpected and I am heartbroken about this. I don’t have any friends or much of people to talk or hang out with so any kind words or conversation would be nice. I’m ...

I’ve lost attraction to my partner and don’t feel emotionally connected. I don’t want to leave him for that sole reason but I find it so hard to be intimate with him. Any advice on how to regain attraction? For background we have been together 6 years and share a child, everything was good but things went downhill...

I been bi since I was 15. I also just got out of a relationship with a guy that I was with for the past seven years. I am looking for a best friend or something more, I really don't care. I'm just tried of feeling alone, especially with dealing with the pregnancy and everything.

I am 24 with a 3 year old and 3 month old. I never really knew what I wanted in highschool as far as my life. But I never really gave myself a chance either. I love my babies and their dad but I can’t help but to continue to think about what my life would have been like if I pursued my own wonders. I feel really bad...

I'm 20weeks, and I'm fighting depression. I did feel fine before but now I'm waking up and just wanna cry all day. I don't have many friends, if any tbh. My best friend is my husband and he absolutely amazing but I don't like to burden him with this as all he will do is worry. I just feel really lonely that I dont h...

Don’t get me wrong, I love being a stay at home mum and spending every minute with my daughter but it does get very lonely sometimes. Please tell me I’m not the only one who feels this

With the holidays coming up I’m really just realizing how isolated i feel. I just wish I had that feeling with other people and just friends who were excited about baby with me.

Hey guys! Not sure if any of you are experiencing this.. recently I’ve felt as though it’s so tough to juggle our baby, my career, my relationship and hobbies - pre-baby i was extremely ambitious - I’ve always had a side hustle with social media + i had a podcast. Since having a baby it’s been SO hard to manage ever...

Does anyone else feel this way? I moved a year or so before I had my baby so I'm not very close to family or friends. I thought my mum would be keen to spend time with her grandson and would visit frequently as she had suggested this while I was pregnant, but she seems to have changed her mind. She's retired and l...

Of everything and everyone. The screaming, nagging, whinging, crying. It’s getting too much. I feel so alone, so under valued and under appreciated. I just want to run away.

Anyone else in their 20’s just feeling (specifically 20 or early 20’s) really lonely and lowkey depressed? I feel like I can’t keep a job because my son is so little (9 months) and needs me around a lot at this stage of his life… no money or any income and it’s lowkey depressing 🥺😣anyone else going through the same…

Am I the only one whose family/ kids families are just not involved.. I’m 23 with 3 kids and the only person involved is my mom.. (she’s toxic and abusive/ narcissistic). But she’s all I have.. my kids dads and their families aren’t involved.. I don’t ever get a break.. Me and my kids just have no one to fall back o...

I need friends, real friends ❤️

Has anybody else separated since having their April baby? Around 3 months in my fiancé and partner of 6 years decided to separate. He was not as supportive in my post partum phase as I would of expected and we fell out of love, and I’ve made peace with it a long time ago. I just feel a bit lonely on weekends as ...

Personally, the more I beg for someone whilst they’re not bothered about me, the easier it is for me to get over them. In the end I know I can’t do much more and I know I tried my hardest. It’s almost like ‘keep going until you hate them/can’t go no more’. Thoughts? Let’s discuss?

I’m a first time mum to a 4 month old baby girl. I love my baby to bits but sometimes I mourn my past life and wish I never had a baby. I never realised how difficult it would be and how much my life would change. I feel like I can never go back to my old life and there’s so much sacrifices I will have to keep makin...

Days like today I wish I had a "village". Someone i could trust to take my kids so I can catch up on stuff and just relax for little bit. I'm 13 weeks pregnant today and I just want to not do anything. Not have my kids whining at me or fighting over the same toy, not having to make 3 meals plus snacks, just not move...
