Motherhood is so lonely

I come to the realization that I have zero friends, and I can’t even make friends because I’m so shy😭 it’s like a battle with myself, I try to go out of my comfort zone, but I just can’t…. I really hate this feeling and I don’t know what to do .. I have an appointment set up to talk with the therapist, but that’s not until July and I’m going crazy over here!!

I feel you . I'm.in the house 25/8 my girl will be 5 months on the 25th and my son just turned 6. Apparently no one near me wants to be friends with an almost 27 year old mom with 2 kids

Honestly, I feel the same way, but with everything going on, I have my hands for I feel like I don’t need friends!

We all need friends. Don't skip on this. It's an investment into your future, sanity and longevity.

Even meeting people in-person can be challenging. Everyone seems so busy!

But, keep trying. I'm in my 40s. I've messed up several relationships. I've gained some great ones in recent years because I was brave and opened up.

Having at least one good friend can be a lifesaver as you age. It gets so lonely if you don't have one.

Keep working on gaining a friend.

All the best!

sex drive higher than your partners

I’ve never really questioned this much, but I’m starting to feel alone in this and wondering if others are experiencing this too.
my sex drive is higher than my male partners. Its been like this since Ive gotten pregnant with my first, (i have 1 kid and two tots)
I can go everyday, twice a day.. its the way i relax, release, it gives me the best sleep, morning sex gives me a perky start… i also cosleep with two of three kids.. and he sleeps with the other. we have been sleeping in seperate rooms for 3 years now. and the sex just gets better and better. the orgasms have gotten better, more frequent. it’s just great! lol
He cannot keep up. he is like once a week mayb once every 10 daysish. ive been told female sex drive increases in their 30s while males decreases.
Am I alone?!

School cliques!

Any advice on not being in the school “Mum Clique”, it’s depressing and I don’t want to push myself on anyone. If friendships don’t fully form, I don’t push. But I always thought I would be great friends with the other Mums in my child’s school.

2nd question did you envision adulthood for it to be nothing of the sort? (Comment your response for this one please)
