I am a mum of two - a 3.5 year old and a 9 month year old who I love to pieces. However since my baby was born last year (in full lockdown) I am feeling increasingly sad and trapped in my life. Before I had my children I had a very active social life, lots of fun and friends and a good career. When I had my first child I chose to take a step down career wise and no longer work at the level I used to. We also moved out of London and since lockdown and the challenges of having two children I have realised I have very few friends left. I am feeling so unhappy with where I live, generally lonely most days and also resentful of my husband who's career is going from strength to strength. I am due to go back to work in September and I am dreading it because I know the juggle with two children will be so tough and I feel like I have really sold myself short in my current job.
I really feel so lost and lonely and a shell of my former self. How do I get myself back again?
