Anyone else feeling lonely ?
I am currently 19 weeks + 2 days pregnant. I have a partner that I live with and a dog. I started living in UK about 4 years ago and I moved here to live with my partner as we were previously in a long distance relationship. I don’t have any long term friends or family in UK. We both work, and of course have our normal everyday routine that I was personally fine with until lately.
I feel so sad, alone and unsupported and it really makes it worse when I see my partner just being able to go on with his life as normal. He is not experiencing any physical changes, emotional changes and he can just go on with his daily routine. I feel very similarly to how I felt when I first moved to UK, in terms of the strength of loneliness but what makes it worse is that I’m pregnant now and I can’t even enjoy the fact that I am growing a life inside of me.
Did anyone go through this intense feeling of loneliness or am I the only person who is struggling with this?

I feel the same way! We too have a dog and it’s been amazing to be able to get out for walks!
Hi. The hormones definitely mess with your mind. It gets better. I feel lonely at work. Feel free to message me

Hiya, I’m sorry you’re struggling. I’ve been living abroad for the last 4 years then I met my partner and moved back to the U.K. although I live near family and I have my partner I’ve been struggling so much. I have so many off days more than good days and we got a cat recently which does help at times. But my partner loves to be home and watching stuff and I just can’t seem to relax. I feel like I alone and have no support which makes me feel worse as I know he’s there for me and so’s family. I’m now under the perinatal mental health team at the hospital to help a bit as I feel the pregnancy hormones just magnify everything and makes it worse. You’re not alone and if you want to chat I’d be more than happy to have a new friend!
