I once thought being lonely was only a thing that happened to much older people how around and big headed i was ! My loneliness is crippling. A bit of back round I am 30 with two young children under 5 my first born starts school this aug and my other starts full time nursery in may I have been medically signed off from work due to my PTSD I haven’t been allowed to work since before my first was born no matter how much I beg they won’t sign me back on to work until I have undergone trauma treatment , we don’t rely on any help from the government my husband has a great job and we live a comfortable life but now that both my children will be gone most of the time I have no idea what I will do with myself I don’t have any friends ! The people I have in my life aren’t friends they only speak to me when they want something for example my so called friend hasn’t spoke to me in 3 months , she called me during week as her car had broke down and she needed a lift of course I went running I wanted to help and I had hoped she’d maybe want to get a coffee or do something later in the week … of course she’s not spoke to me since all my other friends only contact me if they need baby sitters or if they need me for something no one ever wants to do anything fun like drinks and dinner or anything at all they all post about how much fun they had at the weekend with their other friends but I’m never the one anyone chooses to do anything with , obviously I am the problem , I have Great children and a lovely husband but they all have their own hobbies and things going on in their life’s even the wee ones , now that I will be left at home with not even the kids to take my mind off things I’m starting to feel like what’s the point anymore
