Lost friends and it’s depressing. Does it get better?

I’m so sorry you’re experiencing this. You could try to organize a book club for your day off with some folks who might have the same interests as you. Or you can try to make Sunday dinners a common thing in the family and invite your partners cousins and friends if he’s got any and their partners to try to make some community. It’s challenging and everything balances out over time. I think the first 6mos to a year with a new human is just exhausting and isolating ❤️‍🩹 hugs, mama

This is so so so so common. Can't stress how common it is, particularly if you are the first one in your friend group to have a baby. Absolutely nothing to be embarrassed about. You need to make mum friends. Do you have a local park/playground?

So sorry you’re going through this - for me I would take walks around my area, watch movies or read a book. I did feel alone but the baby grew, I’d go to the mall and look around just for fresh air

I can’t tell you with any certainty that it gets better. What I can tell you is that you’re not alone — it’s honestly so heartbreaking how many of us share this pain of loss, loneliness, and (this feels dramatic to say, but -) betrayal. If you peep my profile, one of my first posts here concerned the same exact thing. For me, personally, it hasn’t gotten any less lonely, (SAHM) but things improve little by little. Also super weird how similar, if not identical, our situations are. If you’d like to reach out, please feel free to 🫶🏽 and if not, just know that we aren’t given any amount of pain that we aren’t equipped to handle in time. However scarred and bloodied, we’ll make it through. Take the best care of yourself in the meantime *big hugs*

I've connected with mom groups around me. 🩷 Facebook or even Instagram is where I actually got told about the mom group in my area. I'm not sure what area you are from. But I'd love to help see if there are any momma groups near you! It helped so much cuz I was feeling so depressed not having that girl talk I LONGED for. Please let me know if you'd like help finding one. 🙂🩷

I lost all my friends when I got pregnant and I’ve been working on building a new village. I’m not going to lie it’s been hard as fuck for me. I haven’t really made many friends but now I’m trying way harder than before. You really just have to put yourself out there and be yourself. I’m at the point where I feel like I don’t have time to waste. If you don’t like me ok whatever if you’re vibing with me then let’s meet up again. Hahaha I have 3 kids I don’t want to waist time with people that don’t like me I want to spend time with people that help refill my cup because I can’t be running on empty forever

Genuinely thought I posted this for a second, that's how similar our situations are. It definitely gets better, this app helps a LOT. Feel free to message me if you ever need someone to vent to
