Feeling lonely

Im feeling the loneliness, single mum to two, baby girl is 3 weeks tomorrow and my sons 6 and it's been hard doing it alone with them both and I've had nights of just crying because I feel so alone x

i agree especially being a younger mum it’s so lonely

Yeah absolutely dreading it! Feel the loneliness especially at night the anxiety kicks in!!

I'm really dreading it this time. I have a toddler and I won't be able to lift her until I'm recovered from my section. I'm not sure how I'm going to manage. He goes back to work on Thursday 😢 I don't have any one to spend time with while I'm on mat leave either

@Paige mine is the same I feel okay during the day and then it all hits me at night

@Naomi yeh I’m 12 days post c section and I’m probably doing too much already but he goes back to work on Friday so I don’t really have a choice

@Chloe same! During the day it seems so much easier but at night it’s so much worse, dread my partner going to bed but I know one of us needs rest and sleep!! My messages are always open!! X

Mine luckily gets 4 weeks paternity and we’re 11 days in and I think about him going back everyday and how much I’m dreading it 😔

@Lauren I wish we had longer, I’m usually at work Monday - Friday so I’m used to being out of the house and in a routine. Dreading their next few months being at home xx

@Paige yeh I’m trying not to wake my partner so he gets a full night sleep but it’s so lonely being awake with the babies. Thank you my messages are always open as well xx

@Chloe it really is so lonely! Feel like I’m doing everything wrong it’s so difficult!!

My partner is back at work already and I absolutely hate it when he's gone every task feels so much more difficult especially with two other kids 😭

Yes I feel the same I’m also finding it hard as my 2year old has played up since baby arrived
