Is anyone else feeling really alone?

I'm 8 weeks pp and I feel so alone. I'm so clingy to my boyfriend I don't want him to do anything I'm not there with him for and I feel awful for it. When he goes to work I feel so alone, and when he wants to do something i.e fix his car bla bla I just want him to come back inside, to a point I could cry. I've seen my friends a few times, see my parents and my boyfriends parents a lot but I just feel like I'm doing life alone, I can't explain it but sometimes I feel better than other times, it's sort of like in waves but god I feel so alone. Any advice?

I'm 11 weeks pp and feel pretty much the same, not all the time but the odd days. Even feeling jealous sometimes for him been able to go to work 😅
My partner works 12 hours shifts 4 days in a row so it definitely makes it feel as I'm doing it all alone when he's not around.
In my case, I don't have any family nearby and friends work too.
I try to see the glass half full as I'm sure there are mothers who have even less support.
Personally,I struggle to make myself go out as I see it such a struggle with my LO being so fussy and clingy right now.I guess if I made the effort, it would make me feel better as it has done when I have tried so my advice would be try to look into mum and baby classes maybe or local support groups you can regularly meet,even weekly, just so you start building more relationships with people who are going through the same thing as you. You might enjoy it and have something to look forward when your partner is not around and feel less clingy.
This is what I'm going to try at least 🙂

Break up!!!

Hi, i thought i would never write this. But i am. I have nobody and i need some advice.

I am in the UK because my boyfriend lives here. We are together for many years. We have a 6 month old baby. I will not go into detail but i have to leave him.

I have a pre settled status and did apply for a settles one which im awaiting results for.

I am making my baby a british passport tomorrow online.

If we break up, i am so scared that he will try to take my baby. Please can someone tell me what will happen?

I really appreciate any advice.

Also, he is refusing to leave the house, we rent privately and both our names are on the contract.

Going back part time at work

I went back to work when my little girl was 9 months old she’s currently 11 months I went back part time at first which was lovely and then after 6 weeks I went back full time which I regret as iv missed a lot of my little girls goals and it’s taken a massive toll on my mental health which I’m trying to fix so I’m a better person/mumma

What did you all do when you went back to work ?

Isolation

My pregnancy is a blessing but does anyone else ever feel pretty alone on their journey or ever feel pretty low. I understand emotions and hormones are influenced by the pregnancy and my partner tries their best but 90% of the time he will just tell me he doesn’t know what to say. I work Monday - Friday and he works every weekend so whilst we get every evening together we don’t really get the chance to have whole days together. My friends are great but they have their own lives too. I can just feel so alone. Is this more common than we think or am I pretty alone in this feeling too?

Bestie

I need a bestie that I can talk to everyday that will chat with me 24/7 like a close sister
