Hello, last year I moved house outside of London to a quite town. We are really lucky have a beautiful home, great schools etc, lovely place for my children to grow up. I loved living in London and very much had the 'London life' living in a very cosmopolitan busy area. Nice bars, clothes, fancy gym etc. Despite the fact that we are very lucky to live where we are I feel sad and anxious at the end of each day. I feel that I have nothing in common with people , it's too quiet where we live and that my life is effectively over. I know that this doesn't make sense but it's how i feel although I feel guilty for feeling this way. My husband tells me that this is family life and it's normal. i do adore my family and I am loving maternity leave. I just miss the life I used to have and suddenly feel old. I am currently on maternity leave so I am hoping that it may get better when I eventually go back to work (although also wracked with guilt about this). I just feel that we have made a huge mistake. I am trying to get out and do things and make friends but ultimately at the end of each day i just feel unhappy and suffocated. Please can anyone share any similar experiences?
