North Devon mums!

Feeling alone

I don’t know if it’s this area or just being a mum now. Since moving to north Devon and having my little boy I just don’t have a life aside from being a mum and working and just feel so alone. Any kind of ‘friendship’ I seem to make they die off after a few months and never speak again. I am still in contact with old friends but live too far away now to just ‘pop over’. My husband works long days and weekends, generally only gets an hour or so with our boy before he does to bed. I work in a male dominated work place, I’m the only female so no friends to be made there. And having to work from home more now from lack of help from family. I feel like I’m constantly alone and losing my mind taking care of a toddler. I find myself just crying to myself because I literally have no one to talk to. I’m hoping this phase in life will end soon and I will find people I can really connect to at some point, although I’m starting to think I’m just the problem. Sorry everyone for the depressing post, just needed a vent that wasn’t in my own head…
