I have a three month old baby and I’m finding it hard to say no to people. No to kissing him, no to friends babysitting ( they are so kind but I’m not ready), no to meeting if people are unwell as I don’t want him to catch anything just yet, no to the next door neighbour who keeps hassling me to see him (she saw him...

Has anyone felt like they've lost themselves after having their baby? I'm 8 months pp and I feel like I lost myself more then I did a few months ago. I hate the way I look and I feel like I've lost all fashion sense - I used to be rather confident in what I wore and now I feel like I'm wearing the same clothes ove...

Applied for a job internally where I work and was rejected for an interview, it would have been good progression for me as I feel I’m currently stuck at a stand still. Would you…

Anyone else struggling mentally?

Hi mamas,I’m struggling and need to pour my heart out. We moved across the country to a super rural area for my husband’s job, and I’m a stay-at-home mom to my toddler with no one nearby. I’m so lonely. There are barely any amenities here – no parks, no library, no mommy-and-me classes, and definitely no mom groups ...

Is anyone up at this silly time that would be free to talk? Thought things were getting better but as a matter of fact they are not and it is so difficult to cope.

I got yet another “thank you but no thank you” letter for a job/ fellowship. This is the longest employment gap I’ve had and with each rejection I think “I’m so f*cked”. My network is dried up or unresponsive and atp I feel my only option is to go back to school because ppl only want to help students or friends/fami...

Anyone out there single and/or in a complicated situation where you feel alone? I’m trying my best to be positive and not stress for the baby’s sake, but I feel pretty overwhelmed.

FTMs Wanna hear what y’all are doing to take care of yourselves!!

Now I’ve got a little family my partner, 6yr old daughter, dog and myself. What more could ya ask for right? However, I get random moments of feeling so utterly alone and I can’t explain why. I have moments of maybe if I wasn’t here then I think I can’t imagine NOT being around. I feel so conflicted. I just lied to ...

I’m about to be 27 next month and I still don’t know how to drive and honestly I’m okay with it. Why am I gonna spend 100’s on a car when I can spend it on other stuff like food. I just dont care to drive it has done nothing for me and I don’t understand why people think it’s the greatest thing and I never well.

Going through a lot right now and could use someone to talk to without judgement. You can silently judge away but I need an ear. I don’t need someone to tell me to “just leave” or “why stay”

How to people cope with distant family not putting the effort in! It breaks my heart. I travel 2hrs each way every other month normally for a long weekend for my nearly 5 year old to see my family. When were there everything is fine. Everyone wants to see her. But they never make an every come come visit us. My daug...

Is anyone else really lonely being a mum? I really miss the life I had before my daughter was born and cry about it all the time. I feel like I’ve died and all that’s left is a person who is just here to look after someone else. There’s no rest, no joy, just everyday is the same slog. I miss just being able to even ...

I’m a single mom of 3 lovely girls. But I’ve been struggling and trying to make it day by day. I’m talking about financially and emotionally. I really tired and exhausted. My current job is not even enough for bills. Been trying to look for second job but it’s hard coz I have no one to watch my girls and day care is...

This is my second pregnancy. With my first I felt really supported by the groups on this app but this time around I feel judged and like there's no support from mamas to be. I get this is my second go so I'm in a slightly different boat to some but I'm so much more anxious this time and was looking for support and n...

For those who have gone back how had it been? I found it okay at first but I’ve been back a few weeks and feeling very isolated and missing my Lo a lot

Just wondering if anyone has health anxiety and would like to connect? I feel like nobody in my life understands! It’s really awful at the moment

on or depend on but I feel like I’m always isolated and have no one in my corner. Yes I know I have Jesus and I know this walk can get lonely but for years I have been completely alone with just my kids. It’s exhausting 🥲

Husband has been away all week. Is it weird that I don’t feel I’ve missed him? Have I lost my love for him?
