I've got a very beautiful and much wanted 6 week old daughter and am starting to struggle with feeling isolated and lonely. I had PND after DS was born and v. worried about having it again. I really struggle with being stuck at home as I have a really busy job normally which is very important to me. I feel like the world is carrying on without me while I'm stuck all by myself. DH is away with work a lot and I have no family close by. I have some lovely friends but don't want to burden them or pester them into seeing me all the time. I make sure I get out at least once a day even to the shops and am going to do various baby classes etc but still feel lonely as these don't necessarily involve talking to other people that much. Doesanyone have any advice about how I can keep busy and feel useful whilst also looking after a tiny baby?
