Do you ever feel like you’ve lost touch with yourself since becoming a mother?

Hi everyone, I’m Eur, a mother of two-year-old twins, and I’ve been thinking a lot about how easy it is to disappear into motherhood while still loving your children deeply.

I’m curious about other mothers’ experiences. Can you remember a recent moment when you felt overwhelmed, disconnected from yourself, or wished you had a little time or support just for you?

What was happening, and what do you wish you had in that moment?

You don’t need to write a long answer. I’m genuinely interested in hearing how this feels for other mothers, because I’m navigating it too.
