Lonely though I’m surrounded by so many people

[Randomnamex]

Gave birth to our first child nearly 7 weeks ago now. Feels like I’ve been in a little bubble of pure baby bliss for these past few weeks- so eternally grateful for my daughter and all my family and friends. However these past few weeks I’ve just had this crippling feeling of loneliness- though I’m surrounded by so many people and I’m showered by so much love I just feel incredibly LONELY. Can’t wrap my head around this. Please tell me I’m not the only one who’s experienced something like this PP? Any advice is so welcomed! ❤️

Oh love I'm sorry to hear this. While you have people around you, do you have other mum friends yet? Even to text?x

@LizzieWallace I do have a couple and they’ve been great 🙃So really No clueee why I’m like this- my guess is just hormones regulating or something??
Hope it doesn’t last long anyway x

Hormones my dear...keep any eye on it though as it may be PND..congratulations and look after yourself

Might be hormones but also it could be that you are not yet used to your new self? You've been through a big change, you're now a mum, your pre-mum self that you knew well has evolved.

Also the responsibility of motherhood can be a lot, and it can feel like that is all on you, which can be lonely.

Keep a close eye on yourself and speak to someone if it doesn't settle.
