Moms - Do you feel genuinely happy most days lately?

Question

If not, why?

Answer

I feel like I’m falling apart as a mother. Trying my best with my kids and feel like I always come up short. Then severe guilt kicks in and it just spirals. Maybe every mother feels like they don’t do enough even when they give it their all, but most days I feel like it’s just me and it’s lonely.

Answer

Marriage issues, mom issues, severe anxiety… 🤷🏻‍♀️

Answer

Absolutely not.

Answer

Yes. I do have depression, but I've had depression since I was little. For the most part I'm pretty happy. I have a lot to be greatful for.

Answer

Been feeling really sad & alone lately. It’s been a rough rough rough year. I’ve spent about 6months of 2022 in the hospital with my youngest son. Been really struggling to get my life back together now that I’ve been home again. 
We found out last week that my 1yr quite possibly has a rare rare rare rare genetic liver disease & possibly a brain & liver tumor. It will without a doubt change our lives completely if his liver biopsy says he has it. I’m sad for him. He won’t have a normal life & he will spend his life in and out of the hospital if he does. Im sad for my husband and I. This isn’t how we saw our life going when we had kids. And it’s a major shock to the system to hear the words “brain tumor” & “rare genetic liver disease” come from a doctors mouth. We are getting through this but some days are definitely harder than others. 😞

Answer

I had to give up my idea of a “perfect parent/life/employee” but now I’m a lot happier knowing I’m doing my best where it matters. If my house is a mess, but I spent all my focus on my kid that day I’m happy. If my kid had to entertain herself while I cleaned the house, then so be it🤷🏻‍♀️ my kids are happy and loved. My husband treats me well and is also doing his best in this season of life and that’s all I can ask for

Answer

I'm rebuilding my life from scratch and I'm a lot better now, but for a long time I was miserable. And I'm talking like genuinely considering what it would be like to pack up and start over on my own.... as in actually thinking about where I would go and what would happen to my son. I was miserable. But I was also in a very abusive situation...I didn't want to have a baby, but my family pressured me into it....I didn't want to be with this person at all and he also pressured and guilted me into having a baby.... so I literally wanted none of it. But now my son is almost five, I moved out over two years ago, and I'm starting over. I'm hoping to move far away with my son soon.

Answer

My friend just passed, I feel really lonely, I’m trying to come to terms with my fiancés family not being so active in my daughters life yet they’re wondering why she cries when she sees them. I cry a lot but I know I’ll be okay one day soon.
