Dealing with fomo of past life?

I’ve been in bed putting baby to sleep at 5:30pm on a Saturday and all my friends are going to events etc. I love my baby and wouldn’t change her for the world but omg every Saturday eve I get a really depressing feeling bc I can’t just go out. How are you guys dealing with the feeling of missing your old life where you were just free to roam??

I had this feeling with my first child. I was a young mom. I did what I could do best, stayed home and took care of baby. As she got older, I started to give dad more responsibility.
If you can have someone you trust watch baby, do that. Give yourself a night out.

That’s normal. You’re still getting used to your new normal.
It’s OK to love your life now with your baby and still miss doing those things. It’s OK to feel both.

I had this feeling at the beginning and still do now sometimes 2 years in and 2nd baby on way. It’s so normal to feel that way you have had a massive change of circumstances. I think what it is is missing the option to be able to go out just so freely.

Do you people have sex?

It’s been one year… I don’t even know how it goes anymore. My husband’s not trying. We don’t have time alone ever.

Are we doomed?

Do you take pride in your nationality? Being of the country you were born and raised in

Not your ethnicity or race

Struggling to find friends on here.

Struggling to find friends on here 😂 I just want some mom friends where the effort goes both ways. We’re all busy, but I want friendships where we actually make time for each other and genuinely want to hang out. 🫶🏼

Give me the tomboy moms who wanna do random stuff, watch cars go stupid fast at the racetrack 🏁😂, and just vibe. I just want a few people I really click with. Where are my gearhead mamas?❤️

How long until people noticed a difference?

Which did you take?

What side effects have you had?

And how have you found coming off it?

Thanks ☺️

No friends

Does anyone truly have no friends or family? I am really struggling with life right now and have absolutely no one. My husband and I are going through a hard time and I feel all alone. I have no family that I’m close with and friendships are so hard to find. I feel like I’m going crazy
