I feel soooooo alone

[Nads38]

I hate sounding like such a desperate loser, but that is what I have turned into. We have two dd, 22 months and 4 months. I am Australian and neither my or my Husband have family over here, we have just moved to Plymouth and I am finding the group that we are involved with very clicky, therefore, I haven't made friends. I am feeling so alone and down and have the girls to myself quite a lot as DH is away a lot with his work. I have contacted GP, NPC, which were no help at all, I have gone to mother groups, but not bonded with anyone, I jus feel so so so alone and down. What is wrong with me? We often move and I have no problems making friends at all, have I lost my social skills since becoming a Mum?? I hate where we live, I am a very active person who used to get out for walks everyday with kids and two dogs, but the hills around here are way too steep and I have 25 stairs to climb to get out of this house to the road. Everything is just so hard and my poor husband is copping all my frustration. I hate my neighbours.. Im just so down on my life, I don't even know if Mumsnet can help, but thought I would try... thanks in advance for any replies

didnt want to ignore ur post but think its in the wrong section IF u still with ur DH
try posting in feeling depressed section

Hi Nads,
I really feel for you. Although I knew some folk from work, my family are all hundreds of miles away and once we split, many friends really seemed to disappear into the woodwork...

Do you have anytime for yourself at all? My saving grace was a social group called Spice - www.spiceuk.com Although it looks like an adventure club on their website, it actually has a social event nearly every night of the week and organises many weekends away too - I've just come back from Center Parcs with 400 adults, few of whom knew each other before the trip....

I'd also recommend meets and holidays for single parents, check out www.singlewithkids.co.uk - it's just starting out but the holidays are a great way of making friends around the country.
