Loneliness

Hi
I have a 14 week old and feel so lonely.
I love my days with her, I don't have much interaction with other adults, my partner works 6 days a week. My friends don't seem to be interested in meeting up now I have a baby. I've tried baby groups but there seems to be a click at everyone I go to and find it hard to talk to anyone. Is anyone else feeling like this?

Hi
I have a 12 week old son and a nearly 3 year old daughter.
I often feel really lonely and so completely understand where you're coming from.
I feel like my only friends are my partners friends and have no real friends of my own

I have had some counselling last year and we talked about loneliness and how to try and over come it which really helped.

I find it really hard when people ask me have you been getting out much with the baby, bcos I have pretty much been in the house the whole time :/ I know I need to try and reach out to people more.

Feel free to message me if you fancy a chat x

I also have a 13yr old and a 12yr and never remember it being this lonely. I've started getting out going baby swim etc but people just don't seem approachable. X
