Feelings of inadequacy

Ok so I’ve been dealing with some shit over the last few months and genuinely think I may be depressed or have anxiety, or both. But at the moment I feel so inadequate, especially at work. I don’t have any friends, not a single one. Sad I know. I also feel like I just don’t fit in anywhere. I’ve worked in my current job for 18 months yet and although I get on with everyone I just feel like I don’t fit in and I’ll ever belong. I work with a group of 6 people and feel like they’re just part of a little crew that they’ll never really welcome me into. They’re all single, no kids where as I’m not (although currently separating and have 2 kids) so I don’t know if that’s it. They’re also all slim and pretty and I’m not either. They’ve been on nights out all together and not even thought of inviting me. Granted they’ve worked with each other for years and I’m the ‘newcomer’ but I thought it would be different. I feel so lonely it’s unreal. I see all these people going on nights out/weekends away with friends, I’ll never have that cos I don’t have any. The only person I do anything with is my mum and it makes me feel quite pathetic. Sorry I don’t know what I’m expecting, just don’t know how to get over it and stop feeling this way

Hi. I know this isn't a mumsnetty thing, but sending you a huge hug. I've been there before mainly on the school run. Even now, if I have to go past for any reason, I get evils and looks. Its horrible. Unfortunately in some small towns you will get cliques. Can you try joining the gym or a class to meet people outside work?
