Loneliness

We get out everyday. Park, baby groups, soft play, shopping centres. I do day trips out with him to other cities. I personally don’t feel loneliness and I think it’s because I do things I do want to everyday. I prioritise the cleaning that genuinely needs to be done, if I know I’ll be out a while I put food in the slow cooker, I batch cook at the weekend and put stashes in the freezer so I don’t have to cook every single day x

Although I have my family around me I hardly see any of them as they all walk as does my partner. I’m on the same boat as you but all I can say is get out and about go a walk with your little boy does wonders for you and maybe some baby classes? I’ve been going to wee baby classes since my little boy was a couple of weeks old just to mingle and get chatting to other mums that are about x

They all work*

I’ve been taking my girl somewhere several times a week if not daily. I got her in gymnastics so we could interact with other kids her age. We go to stores, parks, and just get out and walk. My family is an hour away so we try to make a trip there at least once a week to play with her cousins and grandparents

I felt the exact same way and it did effect my relationship because I was clock watching until he got home he would want to relax after work where I’d want to get up and do something as I had been inside all day. - My best advice to you would be… have a look at local children’s centres or baby groups it may be scary at first but some adult conversations is better than none. - Soft play areas you may find another mum feeing exactly like you - go for walks around the local area faces become familiar and small talk begins to start I just moved to a complete different area away from all my family too I went to the cafe the other day and spoke to a lovely lady. It meant the world having a chat with someone outside of my usual conversation

My anxiety since moving away has been terrible before I moved I was going out and about in my town, but I’ve been struggling to get out and do things but I may need to try and do stuff like that and push myself out of the comfort zone, just find it a struggle at times x

You’ll have to step out of your comfort zone and get out of the house. I couldn’t be a sahm if I actually had to stay home every day, that’ll depress me quicker than anything else. I go to baby groups, mothers groups, make friends there, take my babies out and about- for my sanity really. I go to theirs or they come to mine for lunch etc. I’ve found people to spend my days with but that’s not without me trying, I’ve had to put myself out there
