Since my marriage ended two years ago, I've really struggled to adjust to single parenthood. I got a pt job which is going ok. But I don't have a huge circle of friends, am rubbish at making friends, am snappy and exhausted and just so so tired. I just want to sleep.
I rushed into online dating and it gave me a respite from loneliness for a while. I don't know how to make friends, but I am attractive to men mostly and so I had two relationships which ended badly. I think because I can't keep up the pretence of being a lovely person. I'm needy, nasty at times and sometimes spiteful. I drive people away.
I'm off to a friend's tonight actually, but I'll probably sit there and feel like I'm on the outside looking in.
I'm in bed, having eaten too much and just wanting to sleep and sleep.
