Who else is feeling low and why?
I’ll go first: I’m feeling really sad and lonely. My kids are in bed now they’re very young. Primary and nursery age. DH works away during the week so is coming back soon but not that it will make a difference as he rarely talks to me when he is here. Kids started new nurseries and schools. I try to talk to the mums which is easier in school pick up as kids finish same time whereas nursery it’s all staggered times but occasions I have seen People I’ve smiled and chatted. I feel so lonely. I also moved into a new home and people keep themselves to themselves and don’t really chat or take any interest in anyone else. I’ve really really tried to get friendly with the neighbours but it’s obvious they’re too busy so I’ve stopped now as I probably come across as desperate lol!
my daughter has been in her school since September but I find all the mums stand around chatting and I do try to get involved but it’s awkward. I have invited 2 of them for tea and they have come but it goes no where. I texted one of them today asking if she wants to do something after pick up as weather is so lovely for a change but no response.
I feel so low. It’s not fair on my kids to have such a sad mum who can’t even make friends! It does impact their social lives (at the moment as obviously mums arrange the play dates for their kids).
I see no way things will ever improve. I go to baby groups and smile at people and they are friendly but again doesn’t really go anywhere.
