Part of me looks at the title and goes "lol what friends" but then the other part of me is like "no, you're been silly Maddie". It is rather true though, as a young Mum I find it so hard to find friends, throw in some good old anxiety and my weird and wacky personality, and we have the recipe for someone totally isolating themselves.
I'll admit I make excuses, I make excuses every single day. It's probably more so my anxiety and the fact that I do really struggle in social situations but I also feel like it has to do with the fact that I have been so let down in the past. This post is going to get real really quick. As soon as I had Edith I lost my friends. That's the harsh fucking reality of this thing called 'becoming a Mum'. I went from having friends checking in on me, wondering how I'm going, wanting to spend time with me, go baby clothes shopping to suddenly be hobbling around after surgery, with no friends checking in, no friends visiting and basically just hoping and waiting for some form of contact, all while also adapting to my new life-style as an unfashionable, breast milk stained Mum. I hate saying those things above and I hate reading over it but I just need to get this off my chest.
