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...:(

Would you put both of these on the same plate for a meal ?

Genuine question not trying to be hateful but HOW and why would you marry someone that doesn’t care about making you o during sex?

Sometimes I sit and wonder, with how most men are just… the way they are, how do people commit to a lifetime with one who’s not even good in bed? And follow up question if you *don’t care about sex* why?? Unless it’s trauma related which I understand.

When to go on maternity leave

Hello! I was wondering at how many weeks do most women go on maternity leave? I work from home at my desk so my job is not physically demanding. Any advice would be appreciated! 😊

Hard to make friends

I don’t have any friends I’ve got a potty mouth but I’m not vulgar if that makes sense I’ve got a different sense of humour and it’s hard to find similar people I’ve talked to people who are so polite and I just feel like I don’t fit in anywhere just lost tbh I’m 29 and I don’t want to have to pretend to be someone else just to make friends

Here's my question... Is there a difference between bigotry, racism, and stereotypes?

I'm curious what your opinions are... i saw a post earlier about racists and was curious if people purely see them as 1 or separate... and if separate why?
