Depression and loneliness
I am a new single mum that stays at home and I feel so lonely. I have support from my family over the phone and they visit me here and there but they don’t live near me . Im struggling emotionally doing everything on my own and then on top of that healing from my own childhood trauma . Any tips from other mums that felt like this and any advice they can give me please?

Good luck momma!!!
@Catherine (Cat) I’ve tried going therapy it somewhat helped me . Is just the loneliness that’s really getting to me 😭 and I will try to connect with new mums near my area
This could be me writing this post a couple of years ago. If you live in the UK, libraries do Rhyme Time weekly where mamas and babies sing and its free. Local children's centers do free baby groups as well (or they can point you to the right direction). In many soft plays little ones under 12 months enter for free. And of course there are plenty of paying activities where you can chat with other mamas at the same stage, like baby groups and baby swimming. If you live in the vicinity Rotherham I have plenty to recommend x

I started therapy and it has been l8fe changing ! If you're able to, that might be an option. You can try taking walks with the baby. Getting outside really seems to help my mood as well. Try to meet mommas near you! That has made a huge difference as well. We share tips, tricks, struggles, and challenges.
