Feeling like i have no one to talk to
Hi,
lately I have been feeling pretty rubbish..my self confidence has taken a knocking and I feel I have no one to talk to. A lot of my mum friends have moved away to pastures new, are back to work or are busying themselves with 'new year new body' projects so I hardly see them, and I don't have much of a support network..so to speak. I have three LOs, 4 and under (my youngest is 7 months) and work part time, so very busy..but have not been feeling happy with myself and find it hard to talk to my OH about it too..In a way I want to talk to people about how i am feeling but don't want those who are closest to me to see it as a chink in my armour..a sign of weakness, if you know what i mean?
I constantly busy myself and immerse myself in my work and with my children who are my world..but when i am on my own..I feel like crap..x

Oh dear !. You need a break .. Do you have any hobbies that you enjoy? I suggest take your mind off these negative thoughts and start thinking about what makes you happy. I used to feel crap a few years ago and used to be depressed. Trust me I know the feeling when you have no one to talk to about it. So, instead of talking to someone about it I started to socialise and discuss other events with friends. Eventually I had less time to think about negative stuff and felt better. I love reading books and I used to immerse myself in a good book to get my mind off for a bit. That helped me ! You can try something that works for you !. Also surround yourself with positive people.
