Does anyone else just feel really lonely? I try and take my girl out as much as I can, often alone, today we went down the field and I got her out to have a little cuddle and look around which she enjoyed but found myself tearing up a bit as I just feel alone! Even tho I’m obviously not as I’m with my daughter. It’s weird!

Yep, I feel you. I was told motherhood was lonely and know I know what they mean.

Entirely! I tried to explain it to my partner but I'm not sure he understands.
Literally most of my adult conversations are with whoever is working the starbucks drive through.

Yes! Tried explaining to husband but he doesn't understand. When he's at work, it's 15hr long shifts. Tells me 'just make friends with other mums, it's fine!' but doesn't understand that it's not as easy as that!

Yep I know the feeling! We go to groups and things but haven't made any friends yet. It's really hard xx

Yep same thing. It’s lonely and no one understands 😕

I feel the same! I try really hard to join classes, get out and meet people but that’s exhausting on little sleep and expending extra energy getting to know people you wouldn’t normally be friends with, so I get home feeling a bit drained. Especially as she cries unless I’m holding her (e.g in the car, pram etc). Hoping it gets better as they get older…?
