vent/lonely

this is really just to rant. i just feel so lonely as a single mom. i’m only 20. i only have one friend that lives near me, and we aren’t super compatible anymore. i’m in two moms groups but i still haven’t felt like ive found “my people”. i try to be open minded but you can’t really force friendship/connection. all day i dream of having an amazing husband and a family and a close group of girls. i feel so dissociated. sometimes i just sit next to my baby when he’s playing and zone out. i have some close friends but they all live in another state. honestly i just wish i had a best friend. i live with my parents but they both work full time so there are times i literally go entire days without having an adult conversation. the lack of mental stimulation gets to me. i got pregnant my freshman year of college and dropped out and moved home to be a mom. i went from going out multiple times a week, seeing my friends every single day, living alone, and doing what i wanted when i felt like it to completely losing any other identity i had other than being a mom. i LOVE being a mom and i have no regrets but it gets hard.

girl DM me. This hit so hard to home I was trying to figure out if I wrote it myself 🤣

I feel so alone but then feel guilty bc my baby is there 2427. I’ve always been a homebody and been fine on my own but not having anyone to share this journey with or talk about all the amazing things my baby is doing definitely feels isolating. I’ve also been to all the groups and classes and haven’t found any real connections yet. Hoping they will come as baby gets older but I could definitely use them now. I just moved out of state and have no friends here. It’s super hard. Hang in there mama.
