Lonely

You are not alone! I feel this way too, never expected this level of loneliness though! Going to start trying to go to some baby classes soon, have you been to any? Maybe that’ll help
I get out every day, it's the only thing that stops me from spiralling. There are loads of free baby groups and activities through Family Hubs, and I'm also with the NHS Perinatal Mental Health team, which I'd strongly recommend asking your health visitor about cos they've been so helpful and understanding, and referred me to free groups as well.
Yeah same here. It’s awful but you’re not alone. I’ve booked onto a few classes which helps but still feels an enormous task to get out the house and if a nap goes wrong I just lose it and it all goes to pot and the day is a complete write off
I had my 4th baby in Jan, so kind of knew what to expect with the life changes. It does get easier and you will get a lot of the old you back, just takes time, it’s still very early days. But you aren’t alone. Have you been feeling like this for long? Have you considered PND? I’d suggest talking to a health visitor/doctor if you’ve felt that way for a while. X
