I have lost two of my friends recently not going into it things were said on all sides and they decided they don't want to be friends with me or my family anymore. This has affect me deeply I was feeling low after the the birth of my 2nd child who is now 1 anyway but with all the stress of this fall out it pushed me further to the edge. My doc has put me on anti depressants whish have helped to take the edge of it. I try to keep myself busy going to groups with my daughter, I have lots of acquanunties to talk to but not one real friend. My other child is 6 she is really out going at school I try to invite children for tea to see if i can get to know the parents a bit better but this doesn't seem to work. My doc refered me for some therapy and it was conclude I stuggle with my confidence and being assertive, which I am well aware of. It breaks my heart when I see my 2 old friends laughing and giggling together in the school play ground as if I'm not there, although I am never sort of anyone to talk to. I long to have a close friend again some to ask for a coffee but I don't know where to start. I have asked home start for help as i have no family living locally they are coming to see me mext week and i'm waitting for my next app with therapist. I just feel so lonely i don't know what do do with myself PLEASE ANY SUGGESTIONS
