Feeling guilty about having me time

Anyone else feel the most awful guilt for having some “you” time for themselves? Im talking simple things like a bath alone or bigger like a weekend away/leaving the kiddos.

Im desperate for some me time but it makes me feel so guilty I ruin it for myself

You shouldn’t feel guilty. The better you take care of yourself, the better you’ll be able to take care of your little ones

I am a better mom for him when I get me time. Remind yourself that.

I used to feel bad then I nearly crashed out.
Now I make it a point to have alone time where I can because I can’t mother on empty.

How do you deal with the sadness of not having friends?

Can someone just give me some tips to deal with this please. I’ve been struggling to keep friends for so long, and usually I’m ok about it but every now and then I just feel so much sadness.

My eldest has started school this year and I managed to build a friendship with another mum (our kids are besties) but now shes distancing herself from us. I just feel like no matter what I do, this world does not want me to have friends. Everything else in my life is great but man it’d be nice to have a girl friend 😅
I give up second guessing myself all the time, I’m a nice person, I’d do anything for anyone. So it’s time to just accept it 😔

Confused

Okay, so Im confused as to what is the reason ppl really come on this app. Is it to make friends or get your Instagram followers up?? I've come across alot of females that are quick to be like oh im not on here much but you can get a quicker response if you hit me on Instagram or become their Instagram friends. If i wanted Instagram friends I would be on Instagram requesting ppl. TF.

???

It’s so funny how you connected with people off this app but when it’s up to meeting they have so many excuses like how do anyone want to be friends but never want to meet up to do anything but don’t mind texting not even talking but texts that’s so weird to me maybe people just really want someone they can text them actually connecting to be friends.. I’m too old to just text people and not even pick up to talk on the phone

Anyone want a texting buddy?

I have social anxiety and have maxed out my social circle I can handle, but I feel like I have no one to vent to or tell my feelings to. If anyone wants to also vent/talk texting only, I just can't handle phone calls or meet ups mentally rn

Alone

I really wish I had someone to ask for help. Im absolutely drowning. Im so stressed, so incredibly depressed at the moment. My physical health is deteriorating along with my mental health. I don’t have anyone to ask for help. I don’t drive. Im just stuck in the house with a baby 24/7 that won’t stop screaming at me at the moment and won’t even so much as let me eat. Feel like giving up. Im so ill. So exhausted. So fed up. Sorry I just needed to get that off my chest. I just want to lie in bed and cry. Nobody comes round, nobody ask how Im doing, nobody offers to help. Nobody just rings to see If I need help or If Im okay. Im really struggling.
