I am new here and when going through the group section my heart made a little jump reading 'socially awkward moms'! Almost like a relief, pfehh.....I am not the only one.

Since being back I feel like I have forgotten everything and although people are being very nice I feel completely overwhelmed and useless, whilst...
I'm sure I get lonelier everyday. My little girl is now 6 months old and I can't believe time has gone so quickly. My puppy is about a week away from being 8 months old. It's not that I don't have stuff to do it's the lack of people I have to see. I have my partner with me everyday after work and I'll chat to people...
Anyone else feel like they don’t do enough or go many places with their little ones?
Anyone else feeling wierd after delivery I think maybe I just need to talk to someone I don’t have any friends right now and maybe that’s why everything is so bottled up inside. Let’s talk about anything here’s my baby I also have a 9 year old and 6 year old.

Maybe it’s because my love language is physical touch. I just miss the closeness we had before the baby was born. Sleeping in shifts doesn...
I feel so very alone. I’m a single mom of 2 and my life is so routine. I have no real time for myself and when I do try and plan something it feels like I have to do the most (find someone to watch them, drop them off/pick them up). I find myself crying everyday on my way home or in the shower. I would love to have ...
