@egibson133 I get that. It's harder being older. One of my children is a grown up and the other is 12. Everyone seems so young. I kniw there are older mums about but finding them is another matter.
@lifeguardette that's my problem I prefer older mums 
there more mature. Still find orher mums my age or a bit younger very 2 faced and immature x

and I’m 41 so well passed it it seems @egibson133 my oldest is 9, 10 in February. I see alot of older mums around but I just don't seem to fit in it's harder at that age for school mums as its just drop at gates and go so you don't really get chance to talk to them

@egibson133 I don’t feel 51, when my Mum was 51 she seemed old. I don’t feel old. Although I don’t feel young. Almost two years ago I had Covid and now have Long Covid. I can’t make fresh food how I used to or move nearly as much due to fatigue and brain fog. I’ve gained weight and feel like a can’t do rather than can do. 52 will be my year

I've gone to the same coffee shop since it opened 13yrs ago...started going with mum friend's but then they moved away etc, 1 actually works there now! Lolx I used to go on my own and would end up chatting to other regulars in there, a lot of the regulars now meet up in there a lot and chat etc....maybe go to a small local run place and see, can even have a cake! Lolxx other option would be join a club...I do fat club (think I've been going since dinosaur 
roamed) but a lot of the members tend to stay then meet up outside if gp, see if anything ur interested in close to u

This is me too! I have completely shut off from the outside world and feel too exhausted to do anything about it. I think once you get into the habit of not socializing it is very nerve-wracking and difficult to break. I nearly died in December and now am living in fear I won't wake up again every morning so my anxiety is crazy. Thankfully I do have one AMAZING friend who I met at a parent and baby group when we had our first bubbas 11 years ago. Without her I don't know where I would be. Sometimes having one constant friend is better than a lot of acquaintances.
