Feel like I’m going crazy

[applecrunch92]

So I've ended a relationship not long ago, however, how do you move on and start fresh???
I have a 7 month old and I'm still on maternity leave. I spend 24 hours a day 7 days a week at home. I still haven't brought a pushchair as I use to use my partners car to get to places and just took DD in her car seat. So no I'm basically stuck at home. When ever I do decide to go out which is once a month, I get sister to baby sit.
How do I get out of this rut and start fresh ??
Please someone give me advice as I don't think this is healthy for me mentally.

Can you afford a pushchair? Freecycle or Facebook selling if not? Then contact your local health visitor service and see if there are some baby groups you can join to make Mum friends. You need to get out and about.

Buy a pushchair and start getting yourself out and about. You must be crawling the walls.

Well...buy a pushchair would be my first advice...followed by getting out and about more. Go and explore your locality.

Focus on your self and baby, there are lots of classes for babys of all ages, go to the library with LO get her a library card and sit and read book together choose some to take home. (Mothercare have a few cheap strollers on sale so do Argos around £40 free click and collect or £4 delivered.) Go for a walk to the shops, go for a coffee, park to see the ducks. Go during times when it's quiet usually during the day as people are at work. Then slowly as you become more comfortable maybe think about a bus journey, just a short hop in to town, off peak time when it's all quiet with lots of space on bus to position stroller. Fill your time with things to do. You'll be fine...also be kind yourself. X

I used to live in an area with not much of anything in local walking distance area. Two boys 3 year old and newborn. I could easily just stay in all day for days but I found it helped even to pop to local shop just to get out and have a change of scenery and break up the day a bit. Go on gumtree or Facebook selling and get yourself a cheap pushchair. Good weather is starting now too. Its not fair on yourself to be cooped up inside all day and it's not fair on your baby

You need to buy yourself a stroller or a sling and get out and about with the baby.

You could get a cheap one delivered to you from Argos or somewhere.

Can't be that great or stimulating for your baby being at home all the time, either.

Definitely go get a pushchair.

Then find out places you can go to with your baby.
Google baby and toddler groups in your area.
See if your library does a rhyme time and go to that.
Ask your health visitor if she knows of any groups you can go to.

Find all the parks in your area and visit them. See if there are duck ponds or farms/city farms you can visit.

Check out your local pool for parent and baby swimming sessions.
