I’m a stay at home mom, and I have never been so depressed. It’s gotten so bad that my own partner doesn’t want to interact with me. We just moved back to this state and I have zero support here. Any suggestions as to what I can do at home to distract myself or act as therapy?

We sometimes visit the South Bend area, but that’s during the summer only. That’s about 3 hours away from me currently.
Find a hobby. I started redoing furniture. Painting and selling from the garage. Started art work. Making candles. Making jewellery. Something u have an interest in and can make money off or give as gifts. Find mom groups. Go to baby swimmin lessons. Story time at the library. Baby dance classes. Something to get u out of the house with baby where you will meet other moms
My partner is actually the GM for a swim school so our daughter will be starting classes soon. We only have one vehicle at the moment so getting out isn’t an option just yet. I use to draw and paint and lost touch with that talent. Maybe I can revive that hobby.
@iyessi I lost touch with my artistic side as well for many many years, almost 10 or more and recently took it back up and enjoy doing it for hours. Started the adult colouring books as well and reading. Trying to find stuff to do myself being a stay at home too
Hey! Where are you in MI? We've only been here about a year and I totally get the way you feel. I've been home with my little guy since he was born and will be home with this one too.
Hi there! I do. I live just outside of the Ann Arbor area. I’m from NYC and I’m not use to the slow pace and lack of walkable activities. How do you stay sane?
@iyessi oh cool, we live about 30 mins from there. Honestly I have no clue how to stay sane. There's nothing within walking distance, especially in the cold, that we can do during the week. We try to get out on the weekends though with my man. Which coincidentally usually means a trip just outside Ann arbor to the trader Joe's since it's our favorite store lol. But I just try to get out of the house when possible. A hobby with a two year old while pregnant isn't exactly the easiest thing to do honestly. Especially when you only have one car and your man's gone till 7:30 at night for work.
I am also in Michigan, bout 20 mins from niles
