Feeling sad

It’s really hard and you’re absolutely not alone 🫶

I feel for you! Being a mum and not having family around is A LOT. I felt the same way and really struggled the first 1.5 years with my first little human. It does get easier. You make mum friends that are in the same place. But if you are really struggling mentally, please go and talk to someone. I wish that I had sooner. There are all kinds of free resources/support like Peach Tree in Brisbane. You can talk to your doctor about a mental health plan as well. It’s good to talk to someone. I would also say join some mums groups where you get the time and space to connect with other mums. But remember, you are doing an amazing job! Keep it up Mama!

No one understands how much things change, even when people swear they will still be around. You’re doing your best my dear. Give yourself grace, everting is in phases

Thanks so much for your wonderful messages, it means a lot to me 🥹🙏🫶🏻
I am realising how the social connection are shifting and the mum of a daycare friend of my daughter is being more present than most of my long term friends…interesting isn’t it?! A part of me grieve those friendships but it seems that I must work on my acceptance of this life stage 🙈
