SAHM craving some adult interaction

Hi, I'm currently a stay at home mum and my life revolves around my child and home life. I'd love to get to know people and maybe make friends. It would be nice to get out once in a while for a coffee or a catch up with someone and have some adult time without the children. I'm struggling at the moment because I feel like I've lost myself and I struggle to make friends in person because I suffer anxiety. I give my boy the best life experiences that I can and I just want to have a little something seperate for myself. I'm sure I won't be the only person who feels this way, it would be nice to make some connections x

Show your support

Wish we lived closer x

I feel this sooo much ! Every time I’ve tried to make connections it doesn’t work out either. Love being a stay at home mom but the isolation in the house can be depressing sometimes so trust you are not alone lol 😮‍💨

@Sam I'm glad I'm not the only one! I actually almost refrained from posting it as some people can be a bit stand offish when it comes to kids and make you feel like you don't appreciate being a mum! I just get so overstimulated sometimes and just wish someone would ask me to meet up and have some time out x

@Jade SAMEEEE!!!! Just because you want to have time for yourself shouldn’t mean you don’t love your kids ! We are human. That time is actually support for us! My therapist recommended finding my daughter classes so I could have time for myself lol. I just wish in my area as well that I had like minded moms or moms with kids the same age as my daughter that shared like interests but it seems almost impossible. Then the social anxiety kicks in and then I have a hard time reaching out 🤣 but I hope at some point we find the friend or friends we need cause this sucks 🤣🤣

@Sam Exactly!!! We're allowed a break! My partner does allow me to have some alone time but it's not the same as going out and socialising to stay sane 😂 I hope we do too! I have my fingers crossed for you!

Oh man do I ever feel that. I feel so isolated. But I am so awkward in person lol 🤦🏽‍♀️🤷🏽‍♀️

@Patricia same here haha, I am awful for it. I'd love to be the sort of person to randomly strike up a conversation with someone but I just can't bring myself to do it 😂

Yes I get that. Or if I do get the guts to, I say the wrong thing.

@Patricia I totally understand, even if you haven't it plays on your mind

@Jade I’m a mum to an 11 m/o and have set up a mum’s wellbeing + self-development space to support us in navigating motherhood. It’s a nurturing space for mums to reconnect with themselves - I totally relate to feeling of losing yourself but the more work I do around this the more I see it as such an opportunity for discovering ourselves 🌱 ✨ I can send the link if you’re interested?
