Feeling done

I’m really not enjoying motherhood at all like I miss my life without kids. I constantly feel so overwhelmed and overstimulated, my children’s dad really robbed me from a soft & safe experience. I’ve literally been in survival mode since having my first born and I just feel like I can’t breathe. When they cry I want them to stfu, when they touch me I don’t want to be touched like I feel so disconnected with them and I just don’t want to do it. I do it for the sake of it, bc I love them but it’s like I don’t want this life at all I’m so over it. Has anyone felt like this? How can I move past it I’m tired

This sounds a lot like postnatal depression. Have you spoken to someone? How old are your kids?

I left my boyfriend. Went to his best friend s house & we slept together now I’m pregnant

( ex boyfriend now )
He’s really not a good guy - he’s 22
I’m 17
I’ve left him so many times and end up going bacj not anymore LOL

I confined in his bf everything that was going on and after 3 days of being there. He made me feel good
I guess I don’t regret it.
I hope this leads to something great

Looking for a bestie 👯‍♀️

Age: 28
Location: Missouri
Job: SAHM, part-time childcare
Kids: 2 kids! A boy (1.5) and a girl (7)
What kind of friend am I looking for? I want to be able to talk about anything. Send TikTok’s, text often, vent, be 100% ourselves, and just talk about life. I’m open to a long-distance best friend!
More about me: I love music, kids (former teacher!), reading, road trips, DIY, being outside, crafts, trying new things, and binge-watching TV. I’m pretty laid-back, I try to be easy to talk to, and I will talk about anything—deep convo or lighthearted.
I would love to get to know you! 🥰

Do you think influencers have a responsibility to speak up about important topics?

I follow a very popular influencer who's whole thing is self love and not giving a fuck, but I've seen a few videos from others basically tearing her down saying she doesn't use her platform to speak up about feminist issues and doesn't post about anything important going on in the world, she doesn't give her take on political things etc, and she's just absolutely full of herself.
Part of me is confused and I don't understand why she should need to, but then I also agree somewhat that there's a certain responsibility that comes with that job? Idk, thoughts?

9 weeks PP and sex HURTSSSS.

Y’all I need to know if I’m the only one? I feel horrible because when we’re trying to have sex I’m just complaining about how it hurts. Any advice?
