Not really sure what I’m hoping to achieve by writing this but need to get it out of my system.
LO is 4 months old now, and I adore her. We’re on this lockdown with my husband, and I know I’m very fortunate to have a healthy family who are safe together at home.
But I can’t help feeling really lonely. My husband is working from home and very busy with that, so although he’s here during the day we can’t really spend time together. Being a new(ish) mum is hard although I love it. But I don’t really hear from anyone anymore. I make effort to contact friends and family but I don’t get much response.
My so-called best friend disappeared out of my life while I was still pregnant (I think me being pregnant was an inconvenience to her as I could no longer be at her beck and call). I’ve never really had a huge group of friends, but at least before the lockdown I would meet up with friends who have children for coffee/play dates etc. Family has started losing interest a bit before the lockdown as the “new baby” phase had worn off
but it’s even worse now, no one really bothers to call/text to ask how the baby is doing or how I am for that matter.
Just feel like my life has turned into one big pointless monotonous thing. Like no one really cares all that much. Being a new mum can be lonely at the best of times but this has all made it 100x worse
