Feeling alone
Does anyone ever feel empty or alone no matter how good things are? I am so grateful for everything I do have. I have a supportive partner and beautiful son but sometimes I still feel depressed. I feel I should be over this. I thought it was a postpartum phase but it’s a feeling I can’t get rid of. I don’t really have friends other than family, sister in law etc. We do all the normal things - but other than grocery shopping and walks, family functions we really don’t get out much.

Sometimes , I don’t have much friends and some have been moms before and some will never be . It can be frustrating explaining why you cannot do certain things until PP . That’s y I joined peanut , hopefully I make friends.
Yes! I learned that I needed to find myself again and needed some kind of hobby or interest. Something to call mine while still having time to do my mommy/ wife duties
You’ll need to get out and make some friends to fill your maternity leave or sahm days with otherwise the partner being at work you’ll find motherhood very very lonely. I took him to Baby bounce at the library 3 days a week and a mothers group, and going the group I met some sahm that we did play dates and went to the zoo etc with . 4m pp is also when I started Pilates and Zumba classes outside the house I kept myself busy. I’ve met some friends on peanut as well. Pram walking groups are also great
I work full time since my son was 12 months. He is in daycare. I do work from home though so very minimal social interaction other than on teams. Gets lonely ☹️
