I have no social life whatsoever. My best friends were there one minute then disppeared (none had children) and suddenly I realise I have no close friends to confide in or socialize with. I know others mums to chat to when I bump into them but not to socialize with. I've just finished a year course at college which i loved going to because it meant i got to talk to other people but thats now finished. I made friends with a couple of people but one is going travelling so i wont see her and the other person i texted at the weekend but he hasnt texted or e-mailed back. Has other lone parents felt isolated and lonely at times and how did they get over it. I hate feeling like this. Maybe when i find a job i'll feel better but i'm not getting anywhere with that.

i hate hearing that people feel alone i have been feeling like that for ages and depressed which i can deal with but hate feeling it,ive gone threw some crap with people the last year whom of which i really thaught cared for me and i was wrong , people only wanna know when it suites them and i was too good , they all had double standards, the funny thing is that they thaught i needed them but i didnt, theres times when i wanna chat to someone and there is no1 to talk to. i do have 2 brilliant friends but 1works long shifts and the other lives far, ive also finished a course which kept me company. but im glad i got rid of the bad people in my life, im 1 of those people that will pamper you, understand you, i never judge and i respect also honest, i was used, the bastartds......sorrry

How is everyone doing? Am on facebook myself but to be honest don't want everyone knowing how lonely I feel.

I'm a bit funny with FB myself. I kind of feel it's sometimes too open a forum and there are some people on my friend's list who I don't really want to know how s**t I can sometimes feel.

Apart from that doing ok, feel as if I've managed to pick myself up a bit over the past week or so and feel more positive. Each time it happens I think I learn a bit more about myself and a new coping mechanism.

How are you desire?
