I gained some weight in the last year and I feel so gross and ugly and my clothes don't fit. I've just been isolating at home with my kids.

So I'm 37 this year, and I just had my second daughter, who has been so easy, but the new-born stage was horrible, with me having a reaction to the endone and having massive panic attacks and anxiety.

The hardest part about being a SAHM is when my husband gets to do stuff after work while I'm still at home cooking, cleaning, and taking care of our kids who have been acting terrible recently. It's even harder because I know I have nowhere to go or any friends to hang out with. It's so easy to fall into a depressio...
I am utterly obsessed with my daughter and was really scared throughout my pregnancy that I wouldn’t feel any bond. I am very relieved that this wasn’t the case!! The last week I have realised that I’ve lost myself, I tried to do things I used to enjoy and used to do for my mental health. I had no enjoyment, I’m r...
