Lonely

I can’t offer any advice other than my inbox is always open! It’s like I wrote this myself, so totally understand! X

I play video games

Otherwise I could wrote this post word for word lol

I could have written this myself. No advice, but here for solidarity 💜

Here in Solidarity 💕 I feel this so hard sometimes unfortunately the friends me and my husband were closest to before my son was born ghosted us 💔

I definitely could have written this. I try my best to reply to other moms in my area. Haven’t met anyone in person yet but will get there.

I could have written this for sure! I'm not good in face to face but am happy chatting through texts. Is there a group we can have for everyone that fits your post and we could maybe chat with through the week and keep each other company virtually?! Maybe even have a socially awkward coffee or walk if any of us live close?! 🤔

Same. I also have social anxiety and don’t have family nearby. I alternate between immersing myself in podcasts and trying to reach out to other mums. But it’s an ongoing battle. My inbox is always open if you want to chat

I'm not sure how old your children are but I found going to public places helps like the library or playgroups/classes even if I don't actually speak to people I feel a sense of company. If you're lucky enough to have friends/ family to call or video chat with that's also great option. I'm starting to realise that being a mum and loneliness seem to go hand in hand, I think because no one talks about it enough which makes us think it's not as normal. Seeing how many people relate to this just shows how lonely it can be. ♡

Have you tried meeting people in your area? I don't know how much your SA might be stopping you from meeting people. Look for baby classes, go to the playground, join local activities, all. Those cna allow you to meet people.

I agree that it can be lonely. However, I also think that some women are dishonest about their want for friendship and what they're looking for in a friend. They'll ghost others, which is totally unkind, but that's neither here nor there. Also, what could help is joining groups that align with who you are as a person/mom and would allow you to get out of the house with or without your kids.

Same mamas send me a msg 💕
