How are you dealing with loneliness?

So for the past three months, I’ve just been feeling so lonely as it’s just me and my son at home then entire day. My husband tries to help me as much as possible, but he works a lot. I’ve tried to make plans with other people, but they end up cancelling or something comes up and they’re late. Now I just feel like I want to cut off all my friends and don’t want to talk to anybody that I already know. I’ve just been feeling upset and disappointed. I feel like nobody understands me when I do so much for them.

As someone who is going through a very lonesome period in my life i understand. I know it’s not necessarily the same but what I use to help the loneliness is having hobbies… things I can kinda just put myself in and not think about the loneliness aspect. And bright side depending where on the hobby it could eventually lead to making friends… you never know!

Hey, you're not alone in this feeling. I feel chronically alone, even after over 2 years and recently becoming a working mom instead of stay at home. I ask myself many of these questions still, even being around other people and adults.

Feel free to message me if you want to talk more! 🤍

I am expecting my first child and feel the same. Husband works long hours friends aren’t reliable, just feel alone in pregancy. As you have 2 year old why don’t you join some local mommy groups or try and find a hobby

The reason I got on this app was because I felt so lonely. I know exactly what you are talking about. I have even begun to feel resentment toward my boyfriend and friends. It is normal you feel lonely and I hope you find something that makes the situation better. I don’t have a solution due to the fact I’m in the same boat.

Are they any local groups you can join like a weekly coffee meetup or a playcenter?

Keep trying! I am going through a similar phase. It’s a numbers game like most things-many people fizzle out but the few that work out could be amazing!! Also go virtual-this week I got an e-pal just to have someone to talk to when I can’t leave the house and joined a virtual book club. You’re not alone!
