I feel so lonely and fed up

[bigsighh]

Mum of a 8mo DS due to start work next month

i don’t know if it’s maternity leave as I’ve been off 9 months but I just feel so lonely at the moment

My parents have made little jokes about me visiting frequently but I have been because I’m so incredibly lonely and when I’m there I’m just lonely outside my house

I live with my boyfriend who is DS’ dad and we’re okay. The past 8 months have definitely tested our relationship but I feel like we’ve just kind of got back to a new version of us? Rather than constant arguing but we still have the odd argument/bicker

I just don’t know how to describe it I feel lonely and I just wanted to put something here. I don’t know what would not make me feel lonely

Do you think you might be a bit depressed? Maybe talk to your HV or doctor.

@Choconut i don’t know like my son is my happiness and gives me purpose but outside of him I have no one

I could write your post. My dd is 4m and I feel lonely too. I feel like maternity leave is really isolating and the days are long. I feel like since having dd, I have no one else in my life other than her, my dh and my parents. I see and speak to no one else, even when I try make an effort.
Ive joined baby groups and sensitively brought this up but lots of mums just stare at me, I feel like they have bigger friendship groups than me or maybe more outgoing.
I definitely feel for you, I know how rough it can be.
You could speak to your gp and suffering from post natal depression.
