Does anyone else feel lonely in Motherhood?

I feel like my friend’s circle is slowly diminishing. I still make effort, try to arrange girls nights/trips/message on social media but I feel like it’s not reciprocated.

Do you post your happy moments for yourself or for others?

I’m just wondering….is it to show off or get approval of others… like why do people choose to show off happy intimate moments??? I wonder what it would be like without social media and people just living in the moment. Example: pregnancy reveal Holiday pictures proposals New baby New house

Anyone else go back to work after being a SAHM and miss it?

I’m a wreck right now. I was a SAHM for a year and then went back to work a month after my baby turned 1. He’s 1.5 now and I just miss spending so much time with him. I’m so sad and depressed and just want to quit my job and stay home again.

Social Life?

I feel myself isolating into motherhood. My beautiful 7 month old is all encompassing to me. Caring for him and soaking up our time together coupled with working full time makes a social life very difficult to maintain. & if I’m being honest with myself I don’t feel too inclined to maintain. My friends are either al...
