struggling to reach out

hey mamas. i usually comment out in the open but this post i’m a bit scared to post. don’t know why. i guess im exposing my fears to the world. but im really lonely .. like reaalllyyy lonely. i’m from london and moved to birmingham about 5 years ago. found my husband and never ever made any friends and lost all my friends back home. daughter is 14 months old and is doing my head in.. but when she goes to sleep i dread being alone with my own thoughts. i stare at the wall most days. wishing i had friends to text or call. to go out with and leave the baby with dad. i’m 25, and feel like the prime years to make friends and have fun are being wasted straight down the drain. i cry about it sometimes. is it just me? i crave friendship now the way i craved to have my daughter. 😞 i try and it gets me no where. i feel invisible most days actually. odds are always stacked against me, and i have so much love to give. i’m really a girls girl. i’m just really unlucky in life i guess

Aww it’s okay to feel like this honey , you are grieving your old life before child and it’s common for people to have this emotion . Being lonely is normal as well but make some friends on this app to connect with . Your daughter is with you so you technically aren’t alone you are just craving adult connection. This shall pass I promise you !

Are you interested in group chats or do you prefer one on one?

I’m always here for a rant or a message I’m feeling pretty much the same especially can related to the craving as much as I craved to have my son I always thought that was the missing part and I believed he truly was but now I need some one to lean on that’s not my partner x

Message me anytime ♥️ Went through the same situation and feelings with my first and it was gut wrenching and hard. Here to talk/vent to/laugh about anything under the sun! I mean that.

@Bones i would love a massive group of mums where we can all just chat. that would be the next best thing

@Lauren oh tell me about it. i’m here also ❤️

@Rachel they say it takes a village but nobody really considers just who specifically the village may be for! the village is also for us mamas 🥹 i’m here too rachel!

I feel you 💯. I struggle a lot with friendships and it’s so hard to find that person and everyone needs a person. I hope to find one and I hope you find one too❤️❤️❤️ sending you virtual hugs

@Sam message me!!

@Faith back to you. have faith, Faith ❤️

Hey ill pm you if you want to chat x

@Heidi don’t be silly of course! message me x

@Sam this made me smile ❤️

i’m 100% with you on that!🥲 i’m from manchester and moved to stafford with my partner and have 0 friends, i dont speak to anyone from work since being on maternity and it’s so lonely now! i always thought id be fine as im very introverted, but recently my anxiety levels SPIKE when im speaking to someone, im desperate for friendships but just struggle so much to meet people and not make a fool of myself hahaha

I feel the exact same way. I have a 15 month old and moved to a new state when I was pregnant. I still have no friends and I sit alone most nights feeling anxious and sad. And then feeling guilty for not feeling happier bc I feel like I’m wasting away my kid’s childhood. I’m so so lonely. I feel like there’s something wrong with me bc I’ve been trying to make friends and meet up with ppl but I’m constantly getting cancelled on. I’m sorry you’re feeling lonely. It’s so hard. I’m sure it’s nothing to do with you and that it will happen eventually. We’ve just gotta keep putting ourselves out there.

@Lydia you’re right. i’ve been trying to throw myself in the deep end for some time now to no avail. i tell myself it’s Gods way of making space for the ones that will be there and stay! wishing the best for you lydia ❤️

@Sam wishing the best for you too. ❤️

@Sam I’m in the chat group with the @bones her account got banned for stupid reasons. If u want to message me your number I’ll send it to her. And also I’m here if u ever want to text or call. I live far from u but I’m an insomniac so I’m usually always up
