I have very few friends (one friend I see 4 times a year, one friend who sees me 3 times a year and a friendship group I'm part of so get occasional invites to group meet ups. Small number of other people message occasionally.
I'm a single mum, children with special needs work full time in a role where I don't really see anyone.
My family barely have anything to do with me.
It didn't used to be like this.
7/8 years ago things were different. I had a lot of friends. Prior to this id always had lots of friends. Great social life. Always had friends over. Lots of invitations.
For lots of reasons it's hard to make new friends now (limited time and my children struggle in company).
I have some mental health issues.
I'm lonely and desperate for connections.
I wish I could have most of my old life back..😥.
I often feel detached and have memory issues too (doctor think memory issues are linked to stress).
Life is hard.
I'd love to be in a relationship. I'd love to have new friends.
