Today I'm really spiralling

It all started after taking my hair out of my braids and realising that my edges are gone. Then I've spiralled into thinking about how bored I get on Saturdays as me and baby boy rarely do anything and then I'm thinking about how can I have so much family and friends around me but feel so lonely and people have rarely made an effort. Oh and yesterday I found out a colleague of mine died recently and suddenly. Also me and the husband had a silly argument but he came to make up with me so that sent me as well. I just want to crawl back into bed today but I can't so now I'm using my credit card to shop for things I do need but can't really afford just yet to make me feel a bit better. Today is just a down day but tomorrow hopefully will feel better

I'm sorry you're having this kind of day. Definitely been there a time or two. And shopping is definitely also a therapy of mine as well! I know you're struggling but stay strong, this too shall pass! I know you wrote incognito but if you ever need to talk or vent pm me. I will be sending good vibes your way and hope tomorrow is a better day for you. Maybe also reach out to one of your loved ones that you trust even if it doesn't seem like they are making an effort. Maybe they don't see you, almost everyone is wrapped up in their own little worlds.

Get some Jamaican castor oil while you online shop. Maybe go out if it's a nice day and get some sun. I promise you the sun helps. Even if it's to cry. Release something please!
Do something that actively makes you feel good. Dress yourself, dress your baby, and go for a walk and get something nice to eat for yourself and feel your feelings freely.

I'm sorry for the recent loss and I'm also sorry you're struggling with feeling alone. If you have anyone you trust, maybe tell them you need some support. Sometimes people are so wrapped up in themselves that they don't realize.

Let it out. Little things piling up or multiple things piling up become such a huge burden. It's gunna sound crazy, but I highly suggest screaming. Not at someone, but in to nothing. Let the universe hear you when no one else does. Be in a pillow, outside into the air, sitting in your car gripping your steering wheel and dig deep and just full send. This helps me when I'm overwhelmed, over stimulated, and feeling anything and everything.

Bad sex

I started dating guy but we didn’t have sex until after he asked me to be his girlfriend. We did other stuff which was great but not actual sex. I feel bad because he’s so sweet, caring, the nicest guy i’ve ever dated but the sex is terrible. Like the worst sex I ever had. I know sex isn’t everything but I have a high sex drive. I tried telling him what I like and to his credit he does try but it’s still so bad. It’s been a month but it somehow gets worse. What do I do?😭

Feel bad feeling this way. Does anyone relate ?

I look at friends without kids or just 1 child and see the freedom it gives them and I'm really questioning my life choices. Toddler stage with multiples is so hard. I'm tired. I just want to get on a plane and go away and escape.
