I am just so fed up of life

[nc121122]

NC as I post on here quite regularly
As the title says I'm just really fed up with life.
I don't have a bad life and I know I should be grateful but im just sick of just surviving. Im mid 30's with a child I have 50/50 time. I split with her father a few years ago he was abusive. I've dated but nothing overly serious and then earlier this year I met a guy who was great, we've had a great 8 months together and then just last week I've found out he still lives with his wife and kids (supposedly they are over) but it's absolutely knocked me.

All of my friends are settled in relationships. No one wants to do anything cos it's winter and saving up for Xmas. I love being with my daughter but then when she's at her dads I often don't see anyone bjt elderly grandparents sometimes for 3 days.

I work full time and try to work out. It's hard to have hobbies as my childcare arrangements change weekly and I work really long hours too.

I know I need to learn to be happy on my own but I really struggle. I'm lonely and have no one to talk to about it.

Is there anyone else out there who feels like this? Surely there is more to life. I'd love to book some holidays or weekends away but I feel like I'm beginning friends to go with me.

I find online dating horrendous and after my last experience I can't say it's something I want to rush in to.

Hi there. 👋 sorry you're feeling this way too.

I feel the same as you. Have a dd6 and living with ex partner. I have a miserable life and I think I am a Co dependant. I can't seem to move on.
I work part time too afraid to find a full time job for the unknowns...incase I don't like it. I am not in the right frame of mind mentally.

I feel so unhappy and lonely.

I love my dd and am so busy with her. Just life doesn't feel like it's improving for me

I'm sorry to hear that you are feeling like this too! It's really awful isn't it.

How long have you been living with your ex for as a separated couple? I couldn't imagine doing that.

I work full time and it's just draining. I've been off with a chest infection this weeks and as poorly as I've been it's been nice actually been able to do the school run etc instead of relying on after school and breakfast club x

Ah. Hope you're feeling better. Chest infections can be quite draining.

Mostly it's ok but sometimes she can be moody. Think it's her hormones.

I wish I worked full time also so I have more financial security.

Do you have a good support network around you?

I have friends and family but most people are busy with their own lives. Do you?

I get you OP, I split with ex last year and am getting dragged through court too for everything. It's a drain. Have you had a look at the single parent app Frolo?

It's a really nice community of single parents.you can meet up with other single parents in your area.they do zoom meetings regularly on all sorts of interesting topics and they even arrange short breaks and holidays for single parents. It makes you realise that you're not alone in how you feel? I think they're about to arrange single parent dating if you were ever interested in that.

I'm sorry to hear you're having a difficult time. How is the court case progressing?

I will have a look at the app. I have plenty of friends to do stuff with children with and to be honest I've booked to go away just me and my daughter. It's the non kids stuff that I struggle with.
