"It may only be February, but a whole lot has been happening and changing in everyone's lives, and it's no surprise that the moms are clearly struggling with everything on their minds. From sports practices to figuring out how to leave a marriage to dealing with toxic families and everything in between, the moms' brains are just constantly churning - and you can probably relate to at least a few of them."
"Don't worry: Even if some of these confessions feel a little extreme, at least you know you're not the only one with a lot of thoughts rattling around inside your brain. Take a deep breath, pour a cup of coffee, and see what the other moms are confessing. (And then, maybe, you can confess something, too.) Scary Mommy Confessions are a tried-and-true part of what makes our site so fun."
Mothers are experiencing heightened stress and rapid life changes early in the year. Many juggle daily responsibilities like sports practices alongside major decisions such as whether to leave a marriage and coping with toxic family relationships. Constant mental churning leaves mothers carrying heavy cognitive and emotional loads that produce intrusive and sometimes extreme thoughts. Anonymous confessions provide a space for shared vulnerability and recognition that others have similar mental noise. Small calming actions like deep breathing and coffee can offer brief relief. Weekly anonymous callouts on Instagram invite new confessions, and an archive of past confessions allows continued connection and perspective.
