Feel lonely and no-one likes me

[mumof2monsters]

Hi
Feeling really low at the moment and very lonely. Have been having some big problems with DSDs who now have decided after 12 years they have me and this has put a massive strain on me and my relationship with DH as well as his relationship with them.

Also had a couple of people at work who used to be quite friendly towards me and now one hardly speaks and is frosty and the other is cool. Not sure what I have done.

To be honest I dont really have any good friends that I see regularly and I feel really lonely. I feel like people dont like me because no-one really bothers with me and If I do make friendships they never seem to last long.

I am not a bad person but just dont' feel like interacting with anyone now. Have had Post natal depression in the past and last week after visiting the docs due to not sleeping he feels I may have it again.

Have not felt this low in ages and just really want people to realise I am not a bad person and just want some close friendships.

I have not really spoken to DH much about this but feel that my lack of energy is affecting time I spend with DS and DD.

OP...can really sympathise with you on his. PND is crap and it does make you feel like nobody wants to listen to you.
Am in same boat really...no real friends to speak of, but then I don't really want to to make small talk and have conversations etc, IYSWIM.
Have unfortunately found myself being dragged onto the committee of my DCs preschool. Keep going to the meetings but have no inclination whatsoever to actually....what's the word?...mix, mingle, collabarate, whatever. I really do not seem to have the energy anymore to even start a conversation with anyone in RL.
Someone who is confident, outgoing and surrounded by friends will no doubt be along soon, so good luck.

mum of 2 monsters (have we met??) Hope you are ok, I had terrible PND and find it really hard to make friends. How old are your children I know it isn't as easy as going out to groups - try chatting to a few local people and see if you hit it off with anyone. It will pass.
