Hi guys, just wondering has any one had experience of this and advice. I used to be social and happy, however suffered from mental health break down over a year ago. I found work colleagues give me a hard time and never let me move on, I can't be in my current role properly due to the risks associated with pregnancy. I am 28 weeks pregnant currently. I am so out of the loop with my work colleagues since my break down and now pregnancy. I had friends but they have all diminished since the break down and the ones that are left don't want to bother with me now I'm pregnant. I have tried so hard to meet up and things but they keep giving excuses or cancelling last minute. My partner who is so supportive works shifts and 6 days a week so I spend most of my time working from home and being alone and then being alone when not working from home. I suffered alot of trauma over the last few years, having been diagnosed with autism, was sexually assaulted a few years ago, lost my dad and got made homeless 2 years ago. I feel so lost and lonely. I know I should be grateful for being pregnant and my partner but I just feel so isolated. Has anyone experienced anything similar and got advice?

Hello
I don't really have any experience or advice but just wanted to say you are not alone. If you look for local Facebook groups in your area there are usually a few for mums and babies or local meet ups or things like that perhaps? There will be others in a similar boat seeking friendship.
Also, I'd recommend talking to someone about the trauma you've been through so you can get support. Can you speak to your GP? I'm so sorry about the loss of your dad. Keep posting on here if it helps.
