A bit drained ?

[Riceice]

Just feel incredibly lonely. I have 2 young kids and I’m distancing from friends it’s so hard to go out with a 2.5 yo and 6 mo, people want to chat but I can’t as I’ve got eyes in the back and sides of my head on my kids

then people ask me to go out but I can’t it’s hard. My partner works long hours and then when not working wants to see me and the kids which I get because I want to see him too

its quite isolating so any spare time to see him is nice we don’t get any time fully alone though

my eldest is in nursery as I needed to keep the days for when I return to work, he goes 3 days. On those days I do a baby class with my youngest but find myself quiet and don’t really chat to anyone

I just feel
exhausted and lonely and I crave normal human relationships but I’ll miss these days with my kids when they’re older I don’t know if I’ll have a 3rd so this could be my last maternity leave and I just feel
so tired and stressed

Could you make contact with your local HomeStart? of course you need adult relationships to sustain you! Maybe having a volunteer or joining a group there would help? What support would you need to chat at the baby class?

I didn’t know what home start was so I just googled thank you for directing me!

im unsure what it is. I just feel so reclusive even when my youngest was born I put off people wanting to visit. I don’t go out now I don’t know why I feel so lonely but don’t want to go out with people I got out alone with both kids a lot so it’s not a getting out of the house issue. Me and the kids get out at least once a day
