If you told this to a therapist they'd tell you youre not wrong for feeling this way, having no adult conversations definitely makes you feel lonely so be kind to yourself x

I feel like that too sometimes. How old are your kids? Are you a SAHM? Do you have a partner? The answers to all of these questions have an impact as well.
For reference, I really struggled with post partum depression and was in a mother’s and baby’s psychiatric unit for a month after my second was born. They are now 6 & 2. I felt like all my life ever was was being a mum and doing the same sh*t every day! I made an effort to get myself out there and also meet some mums off peanut in my local area. I now have a good set of friends who I’ll see all the time even if it’s just letting the kids play whilst we catch up over home made dinner and wine.
Feel free to drop me a message if you’re feeling really low!

Hi I feel like that too all too often. I have a 3 and 2 years old and am due to my third baby in one month. I love how much meaning and love these children give to my life but I often feel drained recently and feel like I never had a life. As a child I had to obey to my parents. As a teenager I had to obey to parents and school. And right after school I married and got children so now I obey everyone else's needs before mine. If not my husband of gold I literally don't know how I would do this. Every time I feel like I can't carry on he gives me a valuable break and then I can carry on for a little longer and the cycle goes on. How about you, do you have a helpful husband or network?

Definitely been feeling like that lately. I just moved to England in December and I have no family so it has been rough. Motherhood is f*@% hard...:(
