Depression

Lately I've been so depressed...I feel so alone. I try to push through the days only to realize my days will be the same. I have no friends, barely any family. I work I come home and I know I should be grateful because there's people in worse situation than me. What can I do to shake this, sometimes I wish I wasn't even here. it's literally just me and my daughter and I try and try to connect with people. I don't know anymore is it me?. I'm just really tired

You’re not alone! When I feel this way I try to call some family to catch up with them. I also will order small things on Amazon that won’t break my bank acct but give me reasons to get excited about the next coming days:) as hard as it is, forcing yourself to be productive makes a huge difference. Even if it’s small! Clean a toilet, make the bed, or just brush your hair!

I’m sorry you’re feeling that way. 😞 That’s tough. I wish I could give you a hug. Yes, it can be hard to connect with other people, especially when you’re busy and exhausted. That doesn’t mean anything is wrong with you. It just means life has its challenges. And I feel you on all the days being the same. I’ve found it helpful to have small fun things (going to the bookstore, meeting up with a friend, monthly game night, etc.) planned so I always have something to look forward to. Do you have any friends or family you can lean on for emotional support?

hi thank you for your message and unfortunately I don't have either. I think that's why it's harder.

Hi Chauntell, have you tried supplementing vitamin D for several months? It helps treat depression

Have you ever tried Bumble BFF? I met 6 of my friends on that app. I think it’s the easiest way to make friends.

So…….

So question
Do yall think 🤔 that texting other men/women online is consider cheating? Or do you think cheating is just physical and texting?

be careful who’s on here

This is supposed to be a space for moms and children. I just came across a profile named “Rebecca” that openly said they’re on here because they feel lonely and want to talk to mom . That does not sit right with me at all.
It was a man with a half ass wig and beard. We do NOT know people’s intentions on here, and there are kids involved. This is not a random social app — it’s meant for mothers and a safe environment.

Am i a shitty mom

My son is about to be 9 months, and we currently live with his dad in a duplex. He doesnt work. If he does he works maybe 3 days and finds an excuse to quit. He says its not worth his time for what they pay. I work sunday through friday 5 am to 1:30 and i cant make ends meet. When i was on maternity leave he let bills rack up crazy and i had to use my whole retun to pay off the bills. And now ik the asshole because we obly jave about 200 dollars till i get paid again on the 18th. This is what he had to say when i complained that we wouldnt have had to use all of my return of he wouldve ketp a job that was perfect for our schedule and for our commute. He quit the job because they obly paid him 18/hr and he wasnt gonna do the job pf a machine for soemone who smokes a vape( he hates people who vape and his manager was doing so). Am i a shitty mom if i take my son away from his dad and run to harbor house? I just cant keep with financial abuse. I try everything to keep us above water and he just spits in my face about it.

Does anyone else ever feel like the “disposable” friend?

Like you show up, you care deeply, you try to be there for people… but the moment you can’t give 100%, it’s like your value drops. Like you’re only needed when you’re strong, available, and pouring into everyone else. I’m the kind of person who responds quickly and will continuously be there. I just feel like it’s not reciprocated…

I guess I’m just wondering… how do you know the difference between outgrowing a friendship and just going through a rough spot?

Would love to hear from anyone who’s felt this way 🖤

Gay relationships or transgender people being mentioned/ shown in children shows and movies

Are you uncomfortable with the topic of either being in children’s books or shows?
