Hi everyone, its my first time posting on here but I need a little perspective to see if I'm overeacting. I had my son 10 weeks ago during lockdown and basically my friends have made the loneliness even worse and I'm wondering if I'm being unreasonable by being upset.
Basically I have a small group of very close friends including 2 best friends who I've known for years and were bridesmaids at my wedding etc. So we were pretty close. With COVID I had to spend the last 2 months of my pregnancy inside and it was really isolating as my friends were not in contact and rarely responded to my messages but I understood the world went on and people had work etc and that was OK even if it was really lonely. I had a really difficult birth an had to go back to hospital a few times but by this time both friends were furloughed and not working. At this point still little to no contact from them, no chats or messages that we used to do all the time before or anything and no interest at all in the baby! I messaged them both a number of times "hi hows it going" etc to try and get things started but it was like trying to get blood from a stone. Its like they cant be bothered with me anymore and I dont get why as we were meant to be best friends and have always been close. With everything going on and no family or friends visiting its been super lonely hut I thought we'd still talk or chat like we used to, its not even like I'm talking all things baby just general conversation but im not getting much back. Am I overreacting by being upset by this?? Has anyone else had something similar happen and how did you deal with it??
