Can anyone relate to this?
My life in 2018 was a busy office/travelling job, five days a week, with colleagues all the time.
Then I had my baby, lost my job, straight into COVID lockdowns, second mat leave.
Have finally finished having babies and I'm now in a new job part time which I like, but it's mainly working from home- and when I do go to the office, not many people are in. A lot of my team are also based across the country. Working from home though is obviously helpful for school run.
I feel like I'm in a midlife crisis and completely rudderless. Is it loneliness? I keep having mad ideas about moving to a different city/any city and thinking that's the answer (we moved out to a smaller town when I was pregnant with my first). I think I thought I would have made more of a network here by now, but I just have a handful of nursery mum acquaintances and feel really transient, like there's no rhythm to my life and I could be anywhere. I realise now that my main social network was at work before I was pregnant- my close friends are all across the country so don't get to see them on the reg.
Sorry for the stream of consciousness! Just at a bit of a crossroads. Can anyone relate? Just feels like my life entered lockdown when I had my baby and has never really come out of it
