lonely... is anyone else?

[rexxii2012]

I split with FOB when my baby was 12 days since then I have moved back to my mums and she lives in a town where I don't know anyone. I don't have any friends left from where I used to live because all my own friends my ex made me fall out with or they were mutual friends from him but they were more his friends than mine.

Now I feel like I have no friends whatsoever. I enjoy looking after my baby and have thrown myself into that but I don't really go out or see anyone because I have no one to see. I have a few real good friends but they are from school and live a while away so don't see them much but I have no one can just ring and say hey do you want to do something today?

I feel so lonely and cut off from everyone and I live here with my sisters is what makes it worse.. they are younger but they have lots of friends, one is in a happy relationship and my other gorgeous sister has guys falling over themselves to be her boyfriend. I on the other hand have nothing. I don't know what to do I don't want to be sad and lonely but just seems I can't help it.

You don't have nothing, you have a beautiful baby girl first and foremost!!

it is going to be really hard at the beginning, your hormones are all over the place , you are exhausted, sleep deprived and/or hungry, things seem much worse than they maybe really are??

I am not doubting what you are saying, but do you think that maybe you are a little depressed?

there are lots of ways to make friends, esp with a baby. first you need to stop comparing yourself with your sisters, you are your own person with your own qualities so maybe mother and baby group?? just going for a walk in the park with Scarlett and stricking up conversation with other mums??

you made a start - you joined a forum where there are so many other women in the same boat as you - I was (and mostly still am) one of them

it will and does get better xx

I feel the same way.

Try finding a mommy group in your area ... meetup.com is where you can find some.
