1 month old

I have a one month old and I am going crazy.  I am so sad I don't know what to do.  I am so shy but when I am depressed the only thing that helps is being around people.  I am at home alone with the baby and I am so lonely.  I don't like going places alone because of my social anxiety but I hate sitting at home alone.  I'm between a rock and a hard place until I get some help.  I have been taking Zoloft the last couple weeks and it has helped some, but I am still having episodes where I feel so overwhelmed about the future that I don't know what to do.  If anyone out there is reading this, I am looking for people to talk to - about anything - on the DailyStrength IM.  I've never used the IM on here before, but I would love to just have some people to talk to during the daytime hours.

Hi

Is this your first baby? There is a great group out there momsclub.org. They have local chapters all over the US. I found a local chapter right after I had my first. It was a God send. If you go to the site you can see if there is a chapter in your area. Dues are usually fairly cheap and the have playgroups and Moms night out plus tons of other fun things. My kids got a little old for the chapter near me but I recommend it to anyone
