Mum friends - how do people make friends?!

Finding it super difficult to make mum friends at the moment! My little boy is nearly 10 months and I haven’t succeeded in anything more than a few messages or if I talk to people in person at a baby class, it’s just a quick small-talk convo and it never goes anywhere! Feeling a bit deflated because I’d love to have a small group of like minded mums to chat to as none of my friends are in the same stage of life as me ❤️

Sorry to sound mopey, just feeling a bit lonely!

I’d say be bold and plan a meet up with a mum you’ve messaged. I met up with one Mum from here and ended up with a bunch of mum friends from people she had met too. I’ve also gave my number to mums I’ve met at soft play etc. I’m normally super socially anxious, but pushed myself out of my comfort zone and it’s worked out so well for me and baby x

Hey, you are not alone on this one! You've done so much more than many of us to make new friends so give yourself credit for that. Seeking new mum friends too!

Making friends and getting people to make and keep plans was hard enough before kids. Seems impossible now with them

Found out a month ago he was cheating. I was considering leaving. Then tonight he went out with friends. I grabbed his phone while grabbing the baby’s bottle

and just tonight he messaged someone on tinder, tried to go to the strip club with a friend and called some place at 1:30 for a massage

Need some validation or something cause I feel crazy

Lexapro (escitalopram)

Does anybody have any experience being on this antidepressant for their anxiety? I’ve been offered it by my GP and am in the process of thinking about it before I go back with my decision.
