Sudden moments of loneliness and insecurity

[Onlyalacarteatweekends]

Does anyone else ever get this?
A quite sudden feeling of unease/insecurity and sometimes a sad, lonely feeling…out of nowhere?
I’m lay in bed, my dc asleep next to me, dog at the foot of the bed, Dh downstairs
Why do I suddenly get this. It’s often late at night too

Yes I do. Like you, mostly when lying in bed after DC have gone to sleep. And sometimes I have a little cry as well.
It’s usually when I’ve got a lot going on and I think it’s where my brain is trying to process everything at the end of the day and gets a bit overwhelmed by it all.
I try and remind myself that sometimes we need to feel sad so we know how worthwhile it is when we feel happy.
