Stuck in a never ending cycle of loneliness and depression

I am a mum of a one year old and pregnant with my second. Since becoming pregnant I have suffered with extreme nausea and sickness meaning I have to limit my daily activities. I have got to a stage where I feel lost in my life, I feel like I have no purpose other than to my daughter. I am lonely all the time and depressed, I cant go to places with my daughter as I cant stomach the smells outside and constant motion sickness. I cant stop crying because I feel like my life is a dead end, I have no proper friends as I struggle maintaining friends and I struggle with social situations. I am not sure what to do anymore, I feel useless and stuck in the same boring life routine. I'm so lonely and depressed and I don't know how to cope with it anymore.

Hi Sophaia
Sorry to hear you are having such a rough time of it. Do you have any support from family/partner?
All I would say, is you're not alone in feeling like his - I am a single mum of 2 and some days are really rough, and I don't want to get out of bed!
However, look at your DD and make some changes for her benefit. Even if that just means going outside for one hour a day to the park and getting some air. If you are feeling unwell, book yourself in to the doctor. The sickness will hopefully pass soon, dependent on where you are in your pregnancy.
When you are feeling stronger, perhaps attend some groups and really push yourself to socialise? Lots of mums will be feeling exactly the same as you. Little steps can lead to big changes! You're not alone, so be brave Xx
