Alone.

I knew mat leave was lonely because people have told me in the past. The way the dynamic is with me and my partner at the minute I don’t always get a chance to go to groups and when I do I feel like I’m masking so much it makes me so uncomfortable. It has been a really humbling experience to see how many of my “friends” are still around me, checking in etc. I have the odd friend with older children and then the rest don’t have any so I’m just here by myself most of the time through the days and my partner isn’t around much.. I guess this post is just to vent that I feel really low, deflated and unseen 😥

I hear you, it’s really lonely

It’s really difficult and so lonely. I could have written the same post myself! You’re doing amazing! If you can, try and go to groups that aren’t just chatting, ones that you’re doing an activity so there isn’t pressure to talk. Or try and go for a walk each day or for a coffee with baby if you can. Just being out the house I’ve found has really helped me. Do you have any family that can come round to chat? X

It can be so isolating. I feel the same a lot of the time. I have booked on to a couple of baby classes like massage and swimming and prepaid for the sessions.. Then I know I will go! I often find a reason not to go to the free ones, or group chatty ones. It does help break up the day/ week x

I feel the same my partners always working and only one of my friends bother but I make sure that I go for a walk everyday xxxx
