Help me - anyone else feel lonely?

[coffeegin]

On the outside I have a nice life - house, husband, DS (2) and about to go back to work after being at home with him. But honestly I have days where I feel so lonely, like I'm in a black hole. My life has changed so much since becoming a mum, we have moved and I have lost touch with friends who don't have children. It is so hard to plan anything with the friends I do have as everyone is so busy. Does anyone just miss their old life when everything was a bit more spontaneous?

I feel like I need a good friend near me who I can just go for a drink with once in a while but they are so hard to find. The superficial mum chat at toddler groups is so wearing!

Yep. DS is 2 and I am pretty lonely. But then again I know I feel lonely because of my DH who is a fun sponge. I dream of being on my own and doing stuff. Hopefully soon.

@Porridgeoatswithbanana i'm sorry to hear that, the feeling of loneliness is awful

Yep 100% feel this too! I'm hoping going back to work will help. I've really struggled at the mum and baby groups. I'd love to have some friendships that go beyond talking about how many hours Junior slept last night and playing the 'my baby just started this, has yours yet?' game. Maybe I've been doing it all wrong! 😂

@PirateWeasel I know its so bloody dull!
