Will it ever get better?

Feeling really alone and defeated. Trying so hard to create a better life for myself and my son. But lack of sleep and support and constant stream of problems that need to be solved makes it feel impossible. Crying too much. Getting frustrated. Too much screen time. I'm failing and I have no one to turn to for help.

You’re not failing!! Your child is safe, your child is fed, your child is clean, your child is loved on? That’s it. The rest is preferable but you’re in a hard phase it sounds like! Focus on one big thing a week and one little thing a day. Playground once a week and story time for 20 minutes every day.

I feel this 100%. Just want to let you know that you’re not alone in feeling this way. I love the advice that gave.

I can't stop crying today. I feel like I keep breaking down and then pushing through only to break down again. I need some actual relief. And I don't think that's ever going to happen.

Do you ever feel like you could be ‘friendlier’

Now I don’t think I’m rude, I’m just an introvert. I wish I was more extroverted 😭

Just a couple examples. Mums at nursery I heard arranging a play date round one of their houses. My child is BOTH their friends too. But it’s fine.. I get don’t have to invite the whole class.

Then I go to a baby group (second baby) and a few of the mums met up for a Costa prior to start time, they mentioned how they text each other about something etc.

And I’m just like. Am I missing something? I have conversations with these ladies too, more so the baby group mums but still.

How do I become more extroverted?? I’m not lonely by any means. I have friends, I have family and a busy life. But still feel there’s always room for more..?

Loneliness

Im weeks 2 into my maternity leave (baby isn't here yet) and I'm stuck on what to do with myself. Baby room is all set, house is clean. I'd take myself out for a walk or sit in the garden but I can't walk very far till my back wrecks. I don't have any friends really to talk to/come visit me & husband is working, when he comes home he can want a bit of alone time to rewind from work which I get but I'm desperate for a bit of human interaction or something to keep me busy 🥺

Hey mama, I think I have been masturbating a lot lately. I am in a distance relationship
I can go 5 times in a week. I dunno if it’s a bad thing or not
Please how often do y’all masturbate?

Can someone answer this…

Why when you break up with someone because they was doing wrong and you notice it and figure them out they the first to move on and then try’s to make people around them make you look bad and still talk shady stuff while in a new relationship why do people do that seriously…
