Mamas with depression, anxiety, and other mental health disorders

Depression

Is anybody feeling really disconnected lately.
I'm a single mum to twins, and I don't really have any free time to myself and when family does come round they just hold my babies so I can do washing up and house work and they call me selfish for wanting one of them back. So I'm just sitting there doing nothing.

have you tried depression meds? can be really beneficial

Go out for walks or try the gym when you have family come and visit. Leave chores until babies have gone to sleep. I used to manage doing cooking whilst bub played in a play pen with some toys. Stick some sensory things on the tv or put on some music to keep them occupied. You can do this!

I used to go to the gym but I sprained my knee and haven't been able to go over 3 months I don't really have that much time to rest it or even do exercises for it.
I'm on depression meds but don't really feel like they are working

And when I did go gym I felt like I was on a time crunch and had to be back at a certain time so I can go home and sort the babies out so couldn't even really relax and de stress

Boyfriend and me have been fighting really bad the last 2 weekends he left and stayed at a hotel. This past Friday I told him he could stop drinking and stop belittling me and i would work on things otherwise he needed to leave and I was done with the relationship. He got his stuff and left and all weekend including this morning he was talking to me about custody splits, coming to get the rest of his stuff, calling me names and stuff.

I'm pregnant and 2 weeks ago before the bad fights we said we would open the sex results for the baby together. I got the results this morning and opened them by myself because we broke up.

Then, he called me from a bar and said he'd stop drinking, go to counseling, do all this stuff to get back together so I let him come over for a few. I told him the results came in this morning and he got mad that I opened them by myself and he got mad and told me that i was completely out of like and a horrible person for doing that. I think, considering when he was saying to me, it makes sense that I opened them alone.

Texting buddy I live in Florida!

Hi yall! I’m a busy stay at home mom, my son is autistic and we have a hard time trying to make friends, so River and I decided maybe we can try building friendships throughout the world.

Motherhood - Loneliness

Hi all

Hope it’s okay to post..

Anyone find motherhood can be lonely at times? I’m a stay at home mum of two and we live in Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿💜

Lonely since baby

Anyone else feel like they don’t exist around people anymore since giving birth? Everyone just wants to see the baby and you could honestly not even be in the room. Feeling lonely :( does this ever stop?
