Hi Epic, thank you for replying.
My main problem I'm finding is that other people my age without kids don't really want to be around me anymore. All my old friends went to university (I fell pregnant in college) and even the ones that are local to me have no understanding of being a mum at all, and just shut me out because of it. I have one mate, a gay bloke in his 40s but that's pretty much it. Some of the Mum friends just seem quite cliquey and whilst I appreciate the company, I don't feel like I fit in, at all. If I have a one on one conversation with them, I feel like I'm being spoken to like a child, which is frustrating. My age is brought up so many times in conversation, when I feel like saying, I'm in the exact same boat as you. ��
My anxiety is making an appearance, I keep getting paranoid about my husband looking at other women and **** for example when really I know he would never dare, and it's just my own insecurities and lack of self esteem winding myself up.
It's more and more difficult to try and find friends my own age that aren't mothers because all of them seem to just want to go out partying and honestly that's not my scene anymore. I feel like I'm in an inbetween land. I've tried to reach out to old friends, but they're not interested and I've tried to reach out to other Mum friends but they just look at me like I'm twelve and have had about the life experience of a baby moth.
I will try and pester my GP more, but like I said my surgery is absolutely awful because it's so understaffed.
Thank you for replying. I appreciate it so much.
