Ugh, feel so lost, so empty, so unaccomplished

I know it's social media that's mainly contributing to this feeling but I can't seem to shake it.

Logged on today & an influencer I follow has started a second business & it just feels like everyone is doing well & making a lot of money & I just feel so incredibly stuck in life.

No idea what it is I want to do with my life. In a job I dislike, applied for a job - didn't get it, in a living situation with my ex that I can't afford to leave, I'm struggling with friendships, I feel like I'm being a terrible distant mum to my daughter, my body won't give me a break - no matter how many times I shower/do bodycare routines, I seem to always smell funky plus I'm gaining weight cuz I'm comfort eating. Ugh😒 Everything is just getting to me & I just don't want to be here anymore. I'm tired of it all.

If you’re already identifying social media as a problem, eliminate that and see how you go from there. It sounds like you’re using it to escape your reality, but it is making you feel worse, which is feeding into the cycle. Deactivate your account for 1 week and when you feel the urge to scroll, do something for yourself. You will soon notice a change 🩷

Remember that just because it looks a certain way on social media doesn't mean it's true. Take a break from it and do something that makes you feel good.

Looking for friends 🙂

Hi everyone! My name is Emily, and I’m hoping to make some new friends—for both myself and my little ones. 😊

I’m a mom to a wonderful 2-year-old son, 5 year old son, and 11 year old daughter. we’d love to meet other parents and kids for play dates, trips to the park, story time, or just getting out of the house together. Being a parent can sometimes feel a little isolating, so I’m hoping to build some meaningful friendships with people who are in a similar stage of life.

I’m pretty easygoing and enjoy good conversation, coffee, and making memories with my kids. If you’re looking for new friends too, I’d love to connect! Feel free to say hi or send me a message. I live in the south shore area!

How would you approach this?

My ex cheated on me while I was pregnant. A few weeks after I gave birth, the girl he cheated on me with, reached out to me at 4 in the morning saying she’s great with kids and that she has a son of her own and that she’d be a loving mother to them while my kids are with her and my ex and that I have nothing to worry about. She asked to meet me and everything and said she has nothing but respect for me. Only to find out that it was my ex using a burner phone to text me. For context, before any parenting agreement was made, my kids visited their father with the agreement that no new partners were to be introduced to them without my knowledge. (He violated that hence why we now have a parenting agreement in place assigned by the courts). I ended up not meeting her and then she ended up dropping my kids off and tried to enter my home as if we’re cool like that. I told her to leave and that this was wildly inappropriate and her response was “wow you are a bitter baby mama”. Like wtf? This was months ago but it still just makes me irritated.
