Hi
My name is C and I am a single parent to my lovely 2 girls who are 12 and 15 months. They are the centre of my universe but am beginning to realise that I have lost my own identity and have become a worker, a book keeper I work 4 days a week and a mum. I need to meet new people and make new friends to find myself again. I am quite a shy and reserved person till I get to know people as I have anxiety and confidence issues.
I'm 33 and feel very old at the moment and need to do something to change the way I am feeling cause I KNOW there is more to life than this.
Hi Louise
I like reading a watching tele in my spare time when the kids are in bed. I love going out with friends and socialising but I haven't done much of that lately and am feeling isolated which is why I am posting on forums trying to make new friends.
Yes it's hard isn't it, to get a social life going when you have your hands full. have you kept in touch with some of your old friends? What about the neighbours, would you have a little open house event over Christmas to get to know them? Do use some of the ideas in the article, a few people on here seem to have enjoyed going to MeetUps events.
I am a telly fiend, watch too much really. What is your favourite at the moment?
