Loneliness

Lately, I’ve been feeling so lonely, like no one truly understands. I have everything I need, my husband works so hard to provide for us, and I’m grateful but I still can’t shake this sadness, and that makes me feel guilty. As a stay at home mom, my days feel repetitive, like I’m just waiting for my husband to come home. And even when he’s here, it’s comforting not to be alone, but deep down, the sadness lingers. It feels like the world is moving forward, people are traveling, building careers, chasing dreams while I’m here, stuck at home with a baby. Don’t get me wrong I love my baby so much! And I don’t mind taking care of him. Going for a walk helps, but as soon as I’m back, that same emptiness creeps in. I can’t even remember the last time I laughed really laughed. I’m not sure what I’m looking for by sharing this, maybe just a way to let it out. But if you’ve read this, thank you.

I wonder if going out with other mommas, having coffee, lunch or breakfast would help. Having another adult to talk to might be what you need. Do you live near Tampa? 🙂

@Corrie probably 😩 we lived in southern cali. And we just moved to a new city so I don’t know anyone😭

I felt the same way momma, and I still feel that way sometimes. I get up at a decent time, get dressed and put myself together (I swear doing this makes your day better), a few times a week I'd make plans, lunch, target run, park whatever. Sometimes I make a mocktail, get in a bathing suit and just lay out on the back porch with the baby. Get that sunshine, get out of the house 🤍 it's so so hard but you got this.

@Corrie thank you! 🙏🏼 I’ll try to do that. Hopefully it gets warm here soon so I can also tan in our backyard

I relate to this so much. Easier said than done, one day at a time. My chat is always open 🫶🏻 stay strong!

Definitely feel the same way. You are NOT alone. I feel like I wrote this myself, don’t worry you’re not alone. I keep hearing that it gets so much better as they get older so I’m praying one day it does. Im on the same boat. I love my baby and super grateful for my hard working partner but it just feels so lonely sometimes and it’s so hard just doing the same routine every day. How old is your baby??

I go through this sometimes too, being a sahm is all I’ve ever wanted to do but sometimes being so repetitive makes me feel unproductive. I’m moving in a few Months but I’ve live in San Diego my whole life and I’d be willing to meet up and help you connect with other moms in the area just send me a message.

Incognito did you just write a story of my daily life?? 🤦🏻‍♀️ going through the same plus some fights with the husband now and then

You are definitely not alone!! I feel like that sometimes and hate that feeling. I keep reminding myself this is just a season. Once it’s gone I’ll miss my daughters being so young. Taking a shower doing my hair and makeup for no reason other than going to Walmart or Target, makes me feel better. I really like what Corrie said, putting a bathing suite on and going in the backyard. I’m going to try that. OH and the biggest thing I do I stay off of social media!!!! That for sure is a trigger!! DM if you want. I’m a SAHM. We can vent together 😉
