Advice please!: I've recently become a stay at home mom after being a teacher for 3 years and I'm having a hard time adjusting to it. I love being with my kids and my husband and I both agreed that it was the best decision for our family but I can't shake the feeling of uselessness. I'm bored and depressed all the time and we only have one car so I can't go anywhere and we just moved to a new state so I don't know anyone. I've developed a really poor self image of myself and when I'm not playing with my daughter or doing chores, I'm just watching TV or reading. Any ideas on how to be a happier stay at home mom?

@brittany0410, I'm in the same boat. I'm still trying to figure it out myself. My SO works and I'm stuck home with no car. The friends I had kind of abandoned me since I found out I'm pregnant. On top of that I recently was put on bedrest. I'm allowed to shower, use the restroom and make food. I'm not even allowed to lift anything heavier than a gallon of milk. I've gotten more into crocheting, now this little lady has so many blankets, it was suggested by my mom that I should make extra and donate or sell them.

I feel the exact same way. I've recently taken up the hobby of photography which has really boosted my moods.. at least the days when I get a good shot. And I have to move away from all my friends and family in a month to live with my military husband in Alabama, so I won't know anyone either, so I'm thinking about starting a blog. At least for the sake of having something else to focus on.
