I'm a single mum. My ex left me unexpectedly and at the worst possible time. I am so lonely and have desperately been trying to hang out with people just for a chat or coffee etc but am constantly getting ignored or bailed on. Does anyone else get this as well? Feeling very down about it.

Hi! Where are you located? If you’re in Melbourne I have some great Facebook groups where women catch up regularly (and they haven’t met before). Very very supportive
I'm in rural QLD but thank you
I remember feeling like this. I had a baby and a toddler and completely alone and my bub was not a well little man then. I went months without talking to an adult, let alone have any friends. I used to talk the ear off my Dr or toddlers day care mum 😂 Unfortunately, I’m not anywhere near you so can’t suggest any social activities.
I am 10 years into motherhood and still havent made one friend! Even someone to have a quick coffee with
No matter how much I try (or dont try as people say being despo isnt. a good look 😋) nothing has stuck. You are not alone!!!
I wish you all the best Xxoo
Thank you. I'm 9 years into motherhood but I've had friends throughout however now, when I really need someone, they're all gone :(
I wish you all the best as well!
I hear ya load and clear
I'm not a single mum and I work full time but still suffer from crippling loneliness sometimes.
I found something I love and joined a related FB group.
I'd give advice to newbies, chat with other keepers and share helpful tips and tricks.
After a year I was asked to be a moderator for the group.
Now I chat daily online with the other moderators and still do the advice/tips/tricks on members posts.
I can do it in the morning with a coffee or at night with a bourbon.
Just an idea for something in the interim until you find a niche.
