Does anyone else feel so lonely as a mom?

I feel like everyone likes the baby more than me. Forgets about me. I used to be my parents baby. Now when I go to visit and my dad says "where's my baby" I know he's not talking about me. My partner is stressed with work and finances and I feel more like a roommate than a wife. My depression just keeps getting worse and no one around me seems to notice.

i feel this 100% and i wish i had words of encouragement i really do, im going through the same thing. but my therapist tells me this is the new normal and it’s time to fall in love with you all over again and just know you’re still loved and cared for. it’s just insecurity trying to steal your joy

I need to vent

So i moved from Europe to America to be with my husband and after that i had my baby 7 months ago, all of my friends were so excited for me and gave me an impression that they are so excited to become “aunties”. First couple of months most of them talked about coming to visit me and see the baby, and obviously they still haven’t made any plans on coming. And it’s so hard to make friends in a new country, especially now as a mom… guess I just feel so hurt because I wouldn’t have done that to them. But I know I can’t expect me in other people. It’s been really lonely, and despite me saying this they keep saying they will come but I know they won’t. I also don’t have any siblings, my mom is on the older side and she can’t travel back and forth like that, and my dad passed away few years ago.

Anyways thank you to whoever took their time to read this and have my moment 🥹

Leaving baby

Has anyone left their baby with their partner or a close family member yet? I’m starting to feel quite overwhelmed with motherhood and honestly just think I need an afternoon with my friends to just not have to think for a second but I feel so guilty for wanting to just switch off and recharge😬

Sex drive

I have a super high sex drive and the guy I'm sleeping with he doesn't. Sometimes I feel like he's not intrested. But it's always been like this for me. Even when I was pregnant my sex drive was sky high even more than when I wasn't. So do you think something is wrong with me?

Friends

I’m looking for genuine friendship, someone I can get to know talk to and support each other vice versa talk all the time about life what we’re feeling and everything that we’re going through. I want someone who can actually put in an effort to keep the friendship going.
