How do I explain that I love my kids but I want to just fade away and disappear into nothingness sometimes. I don’t want to kick the can but I just want to lay down and exist in a completely pitch black silent room in the furthest country away from my own and just have 0 thoughts. Or some days I feel like I want to be 22 again and run away from my life.

This is going to sound crazy but this is exactly what i did. Have several therapy conversations with chatgpt about this. Dont share any details like names or locations, but talk about how it makes you feel, all the burdens you are solely carrying, the exhaustion, the shame, the wanting people to understand but cant explain it, what kind of support is most helpful, etc. Then, ask chatgpt to write a book about you--essentially a glossary or instruction manual. Explain to chatgpt that the purpose of the book is for the people closest to you to read it when you struggle to verbalize whats going on. Then ask the people closest to you if they will read it. It can help inform them of how you feel and why, how to help and what you need, how to explain it to children, etc. This seriously changed my life and helped me communicate what is going on so much better.

I hope you are okay and have some support around you ♥️ feel free to message me directly

Come chat with friendly mamas!

I would advise against chat GPT for therapy and contact a therapist to speak to. My counselor and I do video sessions, and it has been helpful.

Real this is exactly how i feel especially in this period when my birthday is approaching, I love my daughter more than anything but I just want to be a 23 year old woth no responsibilities no constant concerns just silence and maybe a bottle of something. I was even telling my friend a couple of weeks ago i wanna get sectioned just to get a break😭
Hey y’all! This is meghan😊 I’m currently looking for some genuine friends that I can talk to about anything and everything—no judgment, just real friendship. ❤️

We supposed to be in a relationship, however since being pregnant he just doesnt really care, mind you when I found out I was pregnant I was only 7 weeks i am now 19 weeks,he seemed happy and begged me to not terminate it ( I was not doing it regardless) he continues his life like nothing happens doesnt offer to help in any kind of way… we dont live together which i prefer it this way, however he doesnt care at all of how I am feeling or if I need anything ,mind you I am working more hours than a clock and he has not offered to even buy me a meal, if i dont text or call I dont know about him and when I stop doing it he accuses me of ignoring him like be for real 🤦🏽♀️so frustrating… i am really thinking into ending this relationship…
Any advice/thoughts?
I am going through my pregnancy alone

Anyone else feel like they are barely holding it all together??? I just want to scream. How do we work full time (to be honest- more than full time while people gaslight and say we should be able to get it all done within the workday), keep house, and have time to be a mama? I just want to stay home and be a mama, but that is not at all financially possible so how do I manage it all? Does anyone know of any jobs that pay around 75K (yes- willing to take a slight pay cut if needed although finances are tight) that is part time, work from home, or simply clock in clock out? My milk supply is declining because of stress and my mental health is rapidly declining.
For context- I’m in special education administration.
Yes- my husband helps a lot.

Long story short we used to talk a lot but she doesn’t work and I started working full time so couldn’t keep up with all her messages (she sends essay long texts all the time, multiple 10+ minute long voicenotes, sometimes 50+ pics and vids). My replies slowed down and would reply only when I had time on the weekends or some nights but I couldn’t respond everyday sometimes just once a week.
All of this was communicated multiple times and I apologised multiple times and explained I simply don’t have that much time. Before I started working we would meet up occasionally for a coffee or quick lunch a few times, but ever since my replies slowed she avoided and never acknowledged when I offered to meet.
She then eventually told me she can’t ’get back to the place we used to be’ because she’s hurt and that’s why she can’t meet with me but maybe in the future. Now she’s constantly messaging me HUGE long messages every single day, like essays, always talking about herself and her life and everything she’s up to etc, long voicenotes and pictures etc. I saw her one day and she crossed to the other side of the road when she saw me which I thought was weird. I mentioned again in a voice note about catching up in person one day but she didn’t acknowledge that part.
So this time I deliberate decided to write it plain and simple in a short text that she can’t ignore. I just wanted to know because if she doesn’t ever feel like she can get back to a place to see me (we live close) then why is she constantly texting me all the time and it’s 90% about herself and I’m getting annoyed now.
I cut her response in photo below because it was a long text she sent about herself and her life etc but you can see she only responded shortly before I my question about meeting up and it was vague and obvious she is trying to avoid it. She didn’t say sure, what day? When?
Just to add, there’s nothing going on in her life causing this, she has more free time now than before, she has told me before summer she doesn’t want to meet because she ‘can’t get back to that place with me’, but I don’t understand why she’s going out of her way to message so much

Looking for my bestie match. Someone that’ll eventually feel like family. Someone true and down to earth. A friend to my face and behind my back when I’m not in the room. We can FaceTime when we’re comfortable with that, send memes, vent about whatever. I genuinely want someone I can go to when I need someone to talk to and vice versa. I’m not looking for a group chat. Tbh I’ve tried those. I’m in a few right now and I just don’t feel that connection. At least not yet.
~I’m 29 and I have three kiddos. One of my kiddos is a heart warrior so I’m also a medical mama. I live in California, I don’t mind a long distance friendship. I’m almost always with my kids. You can find me doing crafts , watching a tv show, or jamming out to some music. I listen to 90s/early 2000s rap, r&b, country etc. I’m married, I have two dogs and a pineapple green cheek conure 🦜. I’m not really a gamer but I’ve been trying to get into it a little bit since my husband is. I get migraines daily so sometimes if I’m responding in a lag that’s usually why or I’m just busy with my kids. I’m also dealing with mental health and I believe it is important to prioritize that.
If you feel we could be friends please comment 🫶
