Consistency/loneliness
You know I’ve always typically been a lonely person since I was a child but being pregnant and in your 30s is the loneliest thing I can’t find consistency in my life at all, and I feel like I can’t keep a consistent friend to save my life. And maybe it’s because of all the shit that I’ve gone through and I don’t tolerate a lot of things, but man, I am feeling guilty for being pregnant and having a child when I feel the loneliest I’ve ever felt in my life. Am I the only one?

Not at all. I’ve always been to myself. I don’t have many friends. And never really did growing up because I’m different. I’ve always been to myself but pregnancy lonely hurts a lot more. Especially when you are being ignored or forgotten about by family. The loneliness is sharper and more painful.
Heya fellow Arizonian!
Girl I'm right there with you. I literally never had friends growing up, as I was bounced from foster home to foster home from the time I was 6 1/2 until I aged out.
Some days I feel super guilty about my past, and the fact I have since developed boundaries. This is my 3rd baby, and my husband is WONDERFUL and supportive of me socializing/making friends...but regardless I feel a lot of anxiety around having another kiddo...because it's like... how do I teach my kiddos to pick healthy/respectful friends if I can't seem to maintain healthy friendships myself?!
