Hi ladies. Not sure who else to reach out to, so I thought I'd ask here. I had my DD just before Christmas and I have been lucky enough to be home with her since. My husband is back to work and I'm really starting to struggle.

I'm far enough away from my family and few close friends that I am really alone now, the few people at work I am close with are apparently just work friends. The only people that were nearby was my sister and brother in law who moved temporarily abroad. Even if my friends aren't too busy to talk, they're not exactly in the same boat and don't have kids, aren't married, etc. My husband works often and isn't exactly a talker so I feel like I'm exploding every thought I have had all day on him, so excited to talk to an adult, but when he comes home and is just exhausted, so I feel ignored a bit then too.

I guess what I am asking is, is anyone else going through this? And, does anyone have any suggestions for how to... I don't know, make friends as an adult? Not go crazy? I think a lot of it has to do with the fact that I taught middle school and spent my entire day interacting with people and now I am feeling alone and I'm worried how much worse this will get as time goes on. I was thinking of maybe looking up a new mom's group at the hospital I had my daughter maybe, but I'm open to any suggestions.
