DH's career means he works most evenings, and all big events - Bonfire Night, Halloween, Christmas, New Year's Eve etc.
We moved recently and I've really struggled to make any friends. I have bad anxiety but even when I make a big effort and really try with people it just seems people don't really like me. There's a few people at work but I'm not really close enough with them to meet up outside of work.
I'm just so sad that all the "big" days and events that I used to love and look forward to are just spent sitting on my own at home. I have no friends, and I'm too scared to go to something on my own.
If we started a family then at least I'd have company, and maybe through having a kid I could meet other people.
It's so pathetic that the only solution I can think of is to have a child just to stop me feeling so lonely and worthless, but I just wonder if it would actually work. And if it didn't, then I'd be so selfish and disgusting for creating a life for purely selfish reasons.
I'm sorry, I'm rambling. I'm just so lonely and sad and I haven't stopped crying all this evening. I just wish I wasn't so alone.
