Feel totally useless...I hate being single

[Rocklover]

Hey you guys, just wanted a bit of a rant really, and maybe to know that I am not alone in feeling like this.

I have been separated since July and that is the one thing that I am happy about, but the rest of my life is crap! I am living with my parents at 32, need I say more? I have no friends as I moved around so much during my marriage, and starting again is hard. I am having driving lessons and hate them and find it all so terrifying, but feel that I am only half a person as a non-driver.

Been trying to get a part time job since last Sept, and for some reason am not even getting interviews, yet pre-baby I got practically every job I went for. I am finding it hard to conjure up the motivation to lose weight, which I would love to do as my baby belly is not compatible with singledom. And lastly, I have zero confidence in myself, even though the rational side of my brain says I am not that bad, I really just want to be happy (and healthy...even my health has deserted me at present) and I do want to meet a bloke, just for fun, just to know I still can!!!!

Why is it so bloody hard????

It will get better. It probably feels like ages, but 6 months really isn't very long.
In a funny way it is good that you are feeling hacked off with things because it shows you are on the road to recovery. Write down your goals & work out how you can achieve them: just small steps at a time.
How old is your little one?

Thanks Bugsy, she is two, and really getting to grips with the tantrum phase. My estranged husband has chosen now to begin his full on "assault" to get me back. Lots of texts, emails, phone calls etc and it is really something I could do without right now. He ended the marriage and I could not believe the relief I felt, we get on ok, but I could not go back there.

It just seems that everyone and everything is out to stop me from getting back on my feet again. Grrrrr!!!!!

In the past i read something like that in a thread: they say dont write you are single mum on your cv. maybe thats why you couldnt get an interview.
you are not alone feeling crap, me feeling the same, enven more i feel myself and my dd like different creatures who couldnt adapt to society yet.
wish you good luck.
