I was speaking with a coworker of mine and she made a couple comments that rubbed me the wrong way because she "assumed" we both have degrees. We were talking about her upcoming class reunion and she made a statement saying "Well nobody in my class has really done anything in their life....well made a few. One got...

Why is it so hard to have people accept us as we are. Life is not all cupcake and rainbows. We have bad times more then good. We have feelings we're human!!!!😡

34 weeks pregnant and feeling super unattractive. My husband doesn't seem interested in sex anymore. It's making me feel really insecure. Feeling really disconnected from him at a time that I really need him the most. Is anyone else dealing with similar feelings? How have you been coping with it?

I took some photos today & I wish I was feeling better my face got so fat , I can’t even feel myself like how I used to 🥲 I’m blessed to be having my baby girl but I can’t wait to feel secure about y self again 😩

Stop trying to fix & inspire others…Instead focus on Becoming someone who you’re inspired by! Babe,The journey is not about the destination…It’s about who you *become* on your way to the destination… The more full of yourself you are, the less full you are of other people’s stories & limitations. Drop “🔥🔥” if…

It was lovely at first and still is but it feels so lonely seeing families together especially when they have the kids club at night, I feel like I can't go sit on my own plus my lg is only little so I'd have to stay with her and leave the pram. I've done as much as I can but I still feel like there's things we can'...

I feel stressed all the time. I watch baby all day. I average about 3hours a day to take care of myself and the house responsibilities. I still feel like it's all too much. I feel bad and like no one understands because I only have one baby. I feel guilty

When I bring up the things I feel I’m doing alone in my partnership… my partner uses the word competition… mentioning “everything’s a competition to you” for example.. I know the context is vague but I’m not coming from a place of “one upping” the other person.. I literally feel like a slave in my own home because I...

What sort of things are you doing to help you feel more put together but on a limited timeframe? I got my hair done for the first time in over 4 years a few weeks ago and it got me thinking I want to keep doing these things for myself but I don’t know what exactly. Any ideas?

Is anyone is else finding motherhood quite lonely, I moved due to my partner being in the military and I was so anxious that I didn’t attend baby groups, the few friends I did have, have found new ones because they did attend baby groups and are leaving me out , feeling very lonely and excluded, any advice would be ...

Lately feeling stressed- my son is throwing more tantrums and having trouble self-regulting his emotions. Asked his father for help and just got excuses, I'm so over his BS. I do FT work, school, and on top mom duties. Can't help wanting my own child-free time and wanting to build connections with others. Also, fee...

I had my beautiful baby boy on the 1st march and even from that day I just feel empty. I complained so much while I was pregnant but now there's nothing more I want. I don't think it helps that babies grow so fast. I cry almost daily seeing how big my little boy is he was only little for such a short amount of time ...

Anyone else feel lonely? I only have 3 months left of my mat leave and I’m feeling a bit down. My friends on mat leave seem to be out and about with their other friends every single day and I feel like I don’t really have anyone. It doesn’t usually bother me but feeling a bit rubbish about it at the moment.

I am 19+3 and telling my part time job on Friday because I know replacing me will be hard ( not being arrogant there is just a shortage of therapists) I have only been there since Feb. Absolutely dreading it 😭 any tips? My last work had a much closer culture so it was amazing telling them. This time it’s different!

From the moment I fell pregnant I knew it was a girl. Deep inside I knew I was growing my best friend, my mini me. Anyone else feel like this. I want to spend the rest of my life making her feel special and beautiful

Lately I’ve been feeling alone more and more, an all my family lives in California I just have my boyfriend out here and even with him I feel so alone i just want to be appreciated and valued.

Does anyone ever feel really alone. The whole TTC journey is so hard and I feel like I’m going crazy at times in the lead up to my period or if I’m a few days late. The limbo part is the worst. That’s two cycles now where I suspect potential chemical pregnancies as I’ve had faint lines and a couple of days later no...

Just looking for friend in feltham to meet up as I am 24 weeks pregnant and my family is not in this country, i feel so exhausted and alone crying whole day. My husband works 12 hours.🥲🥲

Went for an interview and didnt get it. Was surprised I didn’t as it seemed to have gone well. Now feeling down. Any suggestions to pick myself up or any encouraging words?
