Ftm and I have anxiety issues and aspergers.
My ds is 3 months old exactly today and my dm told me that the mother and baby group at our church was reopening today and that I should go as it would be good for both of us.
I was smiley and tried to talk to others via their children but they were quickly ushered away and I was told by them 'sorry to which I smiled and said it's fine.
I dress alternative and have visible tattoos and I think I was the youngest parent there as well as having the youngest baby too.
I understand people maybe nervous still because of covid, but I was sat there like a loser with a smile stuck on for nothing it seems and surely if you see someone friendly looking sat on their own and new you would say hello at least.?
I wasn't expecting to leave with a BFF but a 5 minute at most chat would have been nice.
Thankfully ds had a poo and I changed him whilst crying in the toilets feeling like I was at school again and not good enough.
Luckily my husband is off next Monday so will try again then so I have some support.
Not sure why I'm posting just feel really low and no one else to talk to apart from husband 😕
