Feeling lonely... social life has disappeared...

I know that i'm a mother to two very young kids and married with two other step children but i have started to feel quite lonely, unable to meet up with others or feeling paranoid that others don't want to socialise with me/us... my circle of friends has diminished so i'm not sure how to get it back. Just feeling sorry for myself plus i'm very worried about my 4.5yr old son who has delayed understanding and communication (possible autism type problems - waiting for further assessments) so that bothers me a lot and i feel that people don't believe me when i tell them about his problems, they only see him for short periods and as far as they are concerned he is a quiet boy but i see the major differences and also struggle with the communication and his inability to do different things or to understand language.

Sorry to hear that momo. Remember that we're here for you so although we're only virtual friends (at least for now), your circle of friends has changed rather than diminished. Good luck with your son. I'll pray for you that he gradually develops just fine.

Thank you... today is a better day, feel as though I've achieved a few things with my boys. I pray most days (note to self to pray daily not just when in need!!!) and my faith has grown over the years.

Hi Momo.

Feeling isolated full of self doubt, and paranoid about friendships is a familiar feeling. I have had lupus for last thirty years and have a nine year old daughter with social anxiety so school is a daily battle. I can sympathise with you. I have had two marriages break down and I think that was partly because after battling my health and my daughters I had nothing else to give.

I think you are amazingly brave and gutsy coping with such a large family and the problems (and pleasures) that it brings.

Good luck with your little man,

Keep smiling - I know sometimes that is easier said than done!
