Loneliness/ overwhelmed

Hi all, is anyone just feeling very lonely lately? I've gone part time and feel I've lost who I am. I absolutely love being a mum and I wouldn't change my gorgeous boy 🥰 There's always something that needs doing whether I'm at work or at home. We're still struggling financially from mat leave and nursery fees, that's definitely not helping.. but I just want to feel myself again. I've spoken to my partner and he's been amazing, but I feel I'm even pushing him away lately 😔 Any kind words to help would be appreciated, thank you 💛

Cant help as i feel the same way but happy to message if you just wanna talk to someone xx

I could have written this myself! So as Sara said, I can’t offer advice but am happy to talk :) xx

I totally feel you on the lost who I am- I love being a mum and love my boy but I’m grieving my old self and the life I’d built that made me me- like my career, gym, independence, care~freeness! Plus the overwhemingness of constant to do’s, my brain is taken over with things to do for everyone else I really struggle to feed into myself at all which deffo magnifies that feeling! It’s a transition period for sure but I guess we just need to learn to love this new chapter and make sure we’re still getting some time (appreciate not always easy to find time while managing this new normal) to do things that make us feel us still- self care and pouring into our cups is needed 🙏🏻🙏🏻 I know for me I’m terrible at reaching out and asking for help when needed and my social batteries are often flat but it’s something I’m working on 🤦🏻‍♀️ Sending love mama, you will get your sparkle back 🤍✨

@Lauren thank you, that message reads so true 🫣 I hope we all find our sparkle again ✨️ and sooner rather than later as I am getting frustrated with feeling like this xx
