So tired of being alone

I got fired from my job at the end of April when I was almost four months pregnant. I haven’t been able to find a new job (no one wants to hire a pregnant woman) so I’m at home by myself a lot. My husband works full time so obviously he has to leave during the day. I don’t have a lot of friends since moving states a few years ago and I have no family near by. I am so lonely during the day and it’s starting to get to me. I’m 26 weeks and four days so I’m almost there but the loneliness is killing me. I just wish I had someone to talk to or hang out with. I just needed to get this off my chest. Thanks for letting me rant

I got laid off back in Dec, don't have alot of family near by, husband also works full time so I'm in the same boat where I am home all day everyday. I have 3 pups who keep me active, I've been trying to focus on getting certifications for my career for whenever I do go back to work, always try to have the house clean for hubby so he can relax when he gets home, and been nesting....also i have learned to enjoy being alone. If none of those things help then I would suggest trying to meet friends on this app or try finding a hobby where you can meet other people with similar interests.

Maybe look for a prenatal yoga class or a birthing class to attend? Maybe you could meet other new moms that way. Or volunteer somewhere?

@Ashley those are all good ideas. I will look into those

@Stephanie I did go back to school and that has helped a lot. Thank you I do appreciate the advice 😊

I’m also in the Pacific Northwest if you’d ever like to connect! I’m always looking for someone to talk to over the phone while I’m on walks with. I could also use more friends who are in a similar stage of life. I work from home so I can completely empathize with the loneliness.
