Survival Mode

Hello. I currently feel like I am survival mode. Im overstimulated, overwhelmed, easily triggered, and I just feel like to matter what I do, I cannot be happy or easily frustrated. I have a 2, 6, and 8 year old. My child #2 is homeschooled and child #1 goes to public school. I just feel like I'm stuck.

Mommy friends??

Okay y’all, I’m just gonna put this out there because I REALLY miss having a best friend. Don’t get me wrong. I loveee my chats with my boyfriend but I repeat so much stuff to him because I don’t talk to literally anyone else. While he’s gone at work most of the day, it’d be so amazing to have someone to talk to! 🥹

I’m looking for some mom friends who like to FaceTime/chat during the day! I’m a SAHM with an 11 week old and if I don’t have somebody to talk to, I will literally couch rot with the baby all day.😂

For some reason I get SO much more done when I’m talking to someone, so I need a friend I can FaceTime, send random TikToks to, complain about motherhood with, and just talk about whatever 😂

Brownie points if you’re close to me because I’d LOVE to eventually do hangouts and baby playdates!

If you’re looking for a mom friend too, message me! Maybe we can be each other’s “I NEED to tell somebody this RIGHT NOW” person 😂

If you played “how well do yk your partner?” And he didn’t know any of the answers about you… would it hurt you?

This has been my partner for 8 years. He didn’t answer anything correctly about me. I answer plenty correct about him.

So I found a new book at the library yet and it's called you deserve to be rich what do you think about that statement?

You deserve to be rich
When I first saw the title I was thinking that's kind of arrogant to say but once I started reading the book I can see how this can help my life and others. What do you think about that statement?

Husbands low libido

Ladies, I need to vent because I’m going fucking crazy. My husband used to want sex CONSTANTLY and for years I was the one accommodating him even when I wasn’t in the mood. Now my libido has come back HARD and I want him all the time, and suddenly he’s the one who doesn’t seem interested. I’m so frustrated because I don’t just want sex I want to feel desired by my husband…

Citalopram & propranolol

Hello ladies 👋

Ive always struggled with anxiety but it has been manageable to a point.
Since having my youngest 2 years ago my anxiety has slowly gotten worse to the point i was spiraling daily.
I started seeing a occupational therapist about 6 months ago, then around 2 months ago i started with really bad health anxiety also.
When I saw my therapist about 4.5 weeks ago we decided medication might be the best way forward.
I called docs next day and got prescribed propranolol 40mg x 1 a day... they helped my heart palpitations and with getting hot and sweaty but i find i stuffer with a tense jaw and they dont seem to be helping with that 🙈
Anyway, last week i called again to speak about my meds, the doctor has now prescribed me citalopram 10mg once a day and upped my propranolol to twice a day.
Think im on day 7 now of citalopram and side affects havent been too bad.. i decided to take it before bed.
I have been suffering with bad head aches and waking up alot in the night/early mornings.. im also absolutely knackered🥺 im soo exhausted all the time anyway to the point I asked docs for a blood test to make sure all is ok and it is but now with these tablets im feeling alot more drained.

Did anyone else get extreme fatigue from these and did it improve? 🤞 also if theres any successful stories etc i would love some great feedback.

First time taking medication for my anxiety and abit nervous about it xx

Heartbreak at 5 months pregnant

Not sure what im even writing here, maybe to hear from single mums or mums who found new partners.

My partner has said he doesn't love me, sparks gone and pretty sure is cheating on me.

The baby was planned, hes been very exicted about it and the suddenly last month he became distant, putting of anything baby related, cancelled our baby moon plans ( which he knows was a priority i really wanted before becoming a mum) and ruined my life tbh.

I cry myself to sleep everyday, our poor baby was made in what I thought was a loving and secure relationship and it feels all like lies. Im grieving for the life I thought we would have

Im stuck unsure if we will be living together when baby comes or if il move in with my retired parents.

Anyone else had pregnancy completely ruined for them? I no longer feel excited or have the magic to celebrate milestones with.

Advice welcomed, one lonely and heartbroken mumma to be 😭😭💔
