So im very bored, feeling low, fed up, skint, and tired Hmm not a good combination.

I feel so lonely but I never admit it to anyone in real life as I think they would think that im a looser.

So anybody else feeling like this ?

Sorry for wining on.

Flowers ladies!

I feel the same, really fed up of being on my own and having no one to talk to. I'm stupidly 'watching life begins' on itv encore, and it's reminded me of when the ex moved out. Also we've had an offer on our house after it being up for sale for a year, and that's upset me too. Sad

And I've stupidly let the ex back into my life, and really cross with myself

misstiredbuthappy · 07/03/2015 19:54

Do you all stay in on your own everynight ? I do :( sometimes it doesnt bother me but others I have a little cry to myself and panic that im always going to be lonely.

I have my dbro every friday night and have done since I moved out of my mums six years ago. now that he is older its not so bad as we have a laugh. every other night im alone or trying to run up and down the stairs to an upset 14 month old (spd/pgp and an unstable spine make running anywhere a problem)

fattymcfatfat · 07/03/2015 20:02

im going to be on my own forever though. I cant see anyone wanting to be with me when ive got three kids in tow! so ive just accepted the fact that im on my own from now on Sad

MrsTawdry · 07/03/2015 20:04

Fatty no! That's not true. My Aunt met a man ten years after her divorce and she had 3 DC. Her new DH was FAR superior to her first one.

fattymcfatfat · 07/03/2015 20:19

my mumet someone with 4 of us so I know it's possible. its just that im not that good looking anyway and have put on a lot of weight so dont see why anyone would want to be woth me anyway never mind with my terrors aswell! (im not looking now btw! ive got enough on my plate with pregnancy and telling my brother I will not be naming baby natsu or goku!)

pnutter · 07/03/2015 20:28

This pregnancy will be dc3. My husband moved out as he was abusive and social services involved. I'm very lonely as dd at her dad's and ds away . Watching the voice not sure why!!

fattymcfatfat · 07/03/2015 20:30

when are you due?

NAR4 · 07/03/2015 20:45

Evening ladies. I have 5dc, so don't think I have much chance of finding someone. I've been on my own for 6 months and constantly feel incredibly lonely.

I usually fill my evenings with cooking, catching up on housework and trying to find something worth watching on TV.

I love my children dearly but sometimes feel resentful that my ex is free to do what he likes with his life and have some of the children briefly, when it suits him, to play 'Disney dad', then leave me to deal with everything else relating to the children. Wow, that makes me sound super bitter and I'm not normally. Life just seems to have ground me down this week.

passthewineplz · 07/03/2015 20:51

I don't think we'll all be single for ever ladies. I still have hope, although I do feel depressed when I look at what's out their on POF and other dating sites! Sad

I'm trying to concentrate on me, and building a future for DD and me. Just wish I could shake off the bloody lonely feeling though so I can concentrate on my studies

pnutter · 07/03/2015 21:25

I've only just found out I'm pregnant so it will be end of October x

misstiredbuthappy · 07/03/2015 21:37

The lonely feeling is the worst isnt it.

What do you normaly do when you are feeling down ? I normally go to bed as I think it will make me feel better.buthow bloody depressing is it going to bed at 830 on a friday night hey ?!

fattymcfatfat · 07/03/2015 21:40

I eat chocolate. ..but now im overweight Sad so im thinking once baby is born then exercise could work as its meant to release happy feelings and it will feel as though im taking back control.

pnutter congratulations. my DS is an October baby. didn't manage to hold off until halloween though Smile

fattymcfatfat · 07/03/2015 21:44

NAR I know what you mean. its always us that has to pick up.the pieces, and deal with the sickness and get up in the night to soothe them back to sleep after a nigjtmare and they get to waltz in get them hyper, feed them crap then leave us to deal with the aftermath!

NAR4 · 07/03/2015 21:51

Exactly fattymc.

I have a weighted hoop which provides low effort exercise while I watch tv. I occasionally go running, which does give me a boost, but my 4yr old has to be agreeable to sitting in the double, or it's undoable.

I think I actually eat less chocolate now (still a lot though) than I did when with dh. Once I crave it in the evening I can't go to the shops because little ones are asleep in bed. Probably just as well though.

misstiredbuthappy · 07/03/2015 21:55

Im a crisps girl myself I tend to try not to buy them or I cant resist Grin

I walk alot while im in work so it helps. But I'd like to be a couple of sizes smaller.
