Young mom dealing w loneliness

Anyone else a young mom (I’m 20) and struggling with the loneliness that has come with motherhood. The season I’m in is obviously very, very different than my friends’ and it’s just very freaking lonely. I’m basically losing all of my friends. Today was even my birthday and like two of them actually wished me a happy birthday. All of them will make plans multiple times and cancel almost every time. And like none of them check in on me ever. It’s so upsetting. I understand why it’s happening and I know it’s very common, but it doesn’t take away how upsetting it is. I really wish I knew other young moms in my area. It’s so lonely and kind of playing a part in making me a little depressed. I just need to hear other young moms’ experiences and know I’m not alone. Thank you 🩷

I also want to say I do reach out to them a lot (or at least did for a while). I wanted to make that clear before anyone says it’s a two way street. (Talking about them never checking in on me) and even the friend who was checking in on me somewhat regularly, stopped.

Hey love! I totally get it. Getting this app is the most I do talking to someone else. All my friends have stopped talking to me pretty much the same way yours have. I was really bad and depressed when my baby was smaller because I was across the country from my home town and family and my husband was in the military. I know it’s hard. But it gets better. I moved back home and I try my best to make new friends especially that are moms. I don’t want to say anything to discourage you but try to focus on yourself and your baby . Remember that they are a person too. They love you and rely on you as they get older they will be more loving and show you their little smiles. You are not alone.

Thoughts?

Recently had a friend mast****** to me. We are both single. He looked at my face, told me I turned him on, started and then finished. We have had a sexual relationship in the past. I was fully clothed and he was watching me do something benign…I was typing on my computer. I found it to be incredibly hot. My friends have since called it selfish. Thoughts? We have had an on and off sexual dynamic for years.

Friends?? 🥰

Hiii looking for FT buddies and someone to message late at night when the little one is up!!

Do you consider kissing another person cheating?

Curious everyone’s thoughts on this. This recently happened to me. Was seeing someone and he kissed another person at a bar. Said it was a one time thing and wasn’t really cheating. I disagreed and ended things but now I question whether it was too harsh.

Fed up of my relationship

Me and my boyfriend got back together for the baby - big mistake. I hate every second of this life together. He’s been in touch with girls he slept with ( when we were broken up, I’ve deleted everyone )whilst I was being pregnant. I literally cannot think straight. I hate him, I want him gone from my life. It might be a worse day I have today and I hate him extra, but every day is a struggle, because how the fuck were they better than me? I’m done, I’m so done I need out with my baby and him out of my life. I don’t trust him or believe in anything he says.

Question

Saw my OB for the first time today.
She seemed a bit grumpy i know they were busy. She said it herself.
Either way i am supposed to start taking a low dose of aspirin everyday but unsure as to what kind because she didn’t really specify on it. She just said low dosage every day that’s it. Went to look on patient portal to see if anything was there and nothing.
