Anyone else feeling so lonely/depressed?

[Danioiy]

LP, one little girl. Finding it so difficult right now with staying in. All my friends are moaning about being in but they all have husbands or boyfriends. It has been nearly 3 weeks now and talking to only DD every day is driving me crazy. I love her to bits but having no adult contact is driving me insane. I hear all the other neighbours families in their gardens or see them walking past and feel so much jealously. Have been chatting on the phone with family but it's not the same is it? Seeing friends and my daily job have been a break from parenting but obviously can't happen now. I snapped with DD today and feel really guilty about it already. I've suffered from depression in the past and feel so alone at the minute. Really wish I had someone to share this all with. I'm continuing to work full time from home while looking after DD and am also finding it a struggle. Today was meant to be a chill out day, but spent whole day either playing, making food or cleaning. Everything feels like a chore at the moment though. Does anything help?

It's not quite the same but I live alone and usually visit DD EOW but am now stuck with video calls and it has been pretty lonely. I do have the freedom to just chill but I find myself just wanted to see DD a bit more or just something as simple as hugging her. Video calls at her age are a little out of her reach so it's a very hearty hello and goodbye with the majority being watching her playing.

I guess everyone is struggling in their own way. Try and set up a video/voice call with friends, wait for DD to go to sleep and have a couple of hours with some fun and games with friends. It's not the same but it's as good as we're going to get for now.

Stay safe, and stay sane.

Yep, I’m a single mum but to 4 (aged under 10) and I can’t help but think how much bearable it would be if I had a partner, it gets so lonely and boring in the evenings, I don’t have many friends anyway so life isn’t drastically different in that sense but I do think it’s stuff like this that makes you realise how alone you are.

Lone mom of two (3 & 5). I'm working from home so they are being neglected and their behaviour reflects this. Daren't risk losing my job though. No family and their dad is a waste of space.
I use social media for ideas and entertainment/distraction/boredom but can't help comparing and feeling so sad for my DC about their circumstances.
Let's try and remind ourselves that children of single moms often do really well... Let's build their resilience and grit [sobs into rum & coke].
