Empty

Feeling empty right now. I feel like I'm in a big void filled with nothing. Noone to talk to no where to go just empty space. Which is sad because I'm not alone my kids are home with me.

Not sure if this is allowed, but I’m curious…

As a mum, have you found it difficult to make friends or find community outside of your existing circle?

Over the last few months I’ve realised how many women seem to be looking for connection, hobbies and opportunities to meet people, especially after motherhood.

No sales pitch here, I genuinely want to know whether other mums feel the same way.

Has making friends as an adult been easy or difficult for you?

Questions

Hi so I’m a ftm and will be giving birth very soon. I just moved to New Orleans from Ohio so my family and my partners family does not live in Nola so they will be traveling. I’ve never experienced postpartum or even pushing a baby out so I don’t really know what to expect. I honestly don’t want have any visitors the first couple of weeks. But for the sake of not starting a fight I’m going to have them. When my baby gets here I feel like if you’re going to be here you should be helping with whatever I feel like I need and me and my partner shouldn’t have to pay for anyone’s expenses when they get here? My partners mom is the type to get here, says she’s going to help and then expects someone else to pay for it. She does things to the praise of things and not actually out of the kindness of her heart. I’m not trying to sound rude at all. Please help

Struggling maintaining friendships

Does anyone else have the issue of maintaining friendships? At the minute and for the last few years I literally have 0 friends, every friend I’ve pretty much ever had have been the using type to only want to know you when it benefits them so I’ve always cut off. I would rather have no friends then waste valuable time on people like that but honestly it does wind me up because everyone I know has such trustworthy relationships with friends and see them regularly. I’ve never been able to find it where effort goes both ways.
