Just feeling so down and alone lately

Hi mamas. I guess I’m just feeling sad and alone and I need a place to vent or something. Here lately I just have these times where I can’t stop crying and right now is one of them. Being a single mom is so lonely. I feel so alone in the world. When my son is here with me, I’m so busy and devote all of my time and energy to taking care of him and he is my world so him and work are all that I have and that’s all that keeps me occupied. When my son is with his dad, I Catch up on work, I’ll be starting school here in another week or so, and I like to go to yoga to try to destress and do some self-care. More often than not I just feel so sad when I am without my son. I try to enjoy the time to myself and do things that I need to do around the house or catch up on work or do self-care. But I just go to yoga and I see couples or people that are friends interacting with each other and it just makes me feel so sad and alone. My “best friend” stopped talking to me and she was really the only person that I’ve been very close to for the past five or six years. I have a very small family some of which lives in a different state so I hardly ever get to see them. The family that lives near me might as well live in a different state. They are far too occupied with their lives and everything that they’re doing and how great their lives are. Just feeling so very sad and alone in the world right now.😭 Thanks for reading/listening.

I am so sorry for your situation. If you ever want to chat/talk, dm me.

It will be ok. I can relate. In due time, things will work out for you. Trust me. You can message me anytime you want to talk.

@Edna thank you. I appreciate your reply.

@Quinese thank you. I sure hope that things will work out and get better. It’s not a good feeling wondering if the best times of my life have already passed me by.

This is where effort will be required to build more relationships. Why did you and your best friend stop talking??? The good part is your not alone 😊 many of us go through the same thing. Motherhood is tough and definitely gets lonely. Stay active , try and meet new people , date! Youve gt this momma .

@Stephanie Louis-Juste thank you! You’re right. I’m just honestly scared to put myself out there and start over with new people, when in the end things never last for one reason or another. It’s a long story, but my best friend and I stopped talking because we could not see eye to eye in how we wanted our relationship to be as busy single moms. She expected me to drop everything when she had free time, even if I was busy and stressed, but then wouldn’t give me the time of day if I asked her to do something with me. She didn’t like that I wouldn’t drop everything at the last minute for her. Things got really strained and we both just kind of gave up and quit trying. Dating has been kind of a bust too. I’m over these little boys playing games and wasting my time. I just want some kind of community where I feel like I belong, and don’t feel so damn alone!
