Loneliness kicking my butt
*just ranting*
Hi everyone. So I know pregnancy is lonely for pretty much everyone at points, give or take a few people.
I had a massive breakdown last night because I have no friends whatsoever. I’m autistic so struggle communicating in person full stop. I had to call my mum and she calmed me down but it’s so hard.
All my friends pre-pregnancy have ditched me and it isn’t like we used to drink at all so I don’t see why they’ve ditched me for? Some of them are also parents too and I’m a godmother to their children and one of them even named their kid after me so I don’t see why they don’t seem to care anymore. I try and message and even gone to see them but they just ignore me and don’t talk to me even in person. We haven’t argued or anything so I don’t know. I don’t particularly want to be around one or two of them because they aren’t great with their kids anyway.
one has even told me he will keep secrets between him and my child when my child is born- which is a massive no no to me.
I’m just heartbroken and anxious around people and pregnancy is hard.
Anyone else experiencing or have experienced the same thing roughly and what is life like for you now- is it better?

@Sely thank you 😊 that really helps and means a lot ❤️❤️
it’s been the same for me really. i had a best friend for 5 years and as soon as i told her i was pregnant she ghosted me. but it’s really for the best that they show their true colors before you have your baby. keep that negative energy away. you’ll find your people i promise 😊

So sorry to hear you had a breakdown last night 😔. Pregnancy is very hard, the emotions you experience during this period can be very intense. If nothing has happened and they are just ignoring then it might just be for the best, you are embarking on a new journey in life and perhaps they are not meant to be on this journey with you and they are showing you their true colours now rather than later. Sometimes too friendships just go through some phases so doesn’t necessarily mean you’ve lost friends but only time can tell. Things will change very soon, that little awesome human being you have growing inside of you will soon be the bestest friend you’ve ever had. When you experience this kind of love your outlook on a lot of things will change. Being a mum gave me so much confidence, I just poured my heart into it and honestly those first few mo I didn’t even know or want to know what a friend looks like 🤣. As long as you have your family’s support that’s the most important thing.
