I feel so isolated and alone

I was born & up until a year ago lived in London. I was completely priced out so we made the decision to move so we could afford to buy a house. I now have a baby. I have no help, it’s me and the baby day after day. Every day is the same. Dh still works in London, in a stressful job with long hours. He didn’t come back til half 8 last night. This isn’t uncommon. I feel so isolated and alone. Back home I would drop in to see family every week. I never see them now. I can’t drive, living in London i took the tube everywhere and a car was just a pointless expense. They don’t drive either, for the same reason. All day long I have no one to talk to but the baby, no help, no break, nothing. I looked for baby groups in the town i’m in but there doesn’t seem to be anything. Everyone here seems to know each other. I constantly see mums out with their adult daughters and feel a limp in my throat. I just feel so alone.

Could you maybe try starting a baby and toddler group? If you feel
like you do, I'm sure other people feel the same.

Or how about getting a job and meeting people that way?

So sorry, having a baby is hard and can be so lonely. Is there any coffee mornings or any playgroups in the local church? Any community groups on facebook to join? Can you go out to the playpark and try and strike up a conversation with anyone with kids and ask about groups? Ring your family daily and any friends from london as sometimes a good natter can really help.
