Prior to having my daughter, I had a group of friends who I would see semi regularly, we all had partners, jobs and kids so not all the time.

Since having a baby, I had horrific post natal depression and became quite isolated and I have drifted away from my friends (to be fair, the group in general have drifted apart) but I have no clue how to meet new people/make new friends!

Any ideas? How do we make new connections and friendships as an adult?

Church, if you're open to it. The best support system you'll ever get, especially with a small baby.

Quite a long way behind but still good, choirs, special interest groups.

Nowhere: baby groups. Just not a good way of making friends. They can be good for babies but don't go there looking for friends imo.

Edit: just wanted to add online special interest groups. I have de ade long friendship s that have transferred to real life from there.
