Feeling Sad and Lame

Hi. I am new, and I try to be thoughtful about what I post. I don't reply to a  lot of stuff because I am so new..

But here is how I am feeling.. I just moved here and I feel like I am never going to make friends. I have some family here, but they live in Woodinville and I live in south Kent. My dogs are difficult to manage and I have trouble leaving them in my apartment because they cry and bark the whole time I am gone. (we used to have a yard, but we had very little time to hunt for a home and now we live in an apt) 

Our car broke down this week and I am more stuck than I have ever been in my life. I just feel generally crappy..  

I think that is all..

Thanks for listening.

    Sometimes it all happens at once, doesn't it?  Good luck!

    We have lots of good dog parks here... maybe a couple trips to the dog park and some extra training could help with their nervousness?  Or long walks with them if you aren't near a dog park and your car isn't cooperating.  Also a good way to get out of the house for you :)

    I'll meet you at your apartment for coffee if you'd like, just to get to know each other.  I am in Federal Way, so not too far from you.  Are you free weekdays?

    TTC #2 for a million years: SA normal, CD 23 bloodwork shows nothing amiss, ovulation detected. Next step: ? maybe CD3 bloodwork to check eggs? All out of pocket, so limited IF tests/treatments.

    I totally agree with this. The more you post and interact the more likely you are to make friends. I too have made several friends from these boards. At first I thought I wouldn't have much to contribute, especially because we don't have a child and we are only in the TTC stage. I've realized I can offer my support and often that is the most important. I hope you get to feeling better soon. Moving to a new place must be so difficult. I'm sure better days are ahead.

    I can't figure out how to leave you a private message.

    I very much feel for you and am going through a similar transition (though my car works right now -- sometimes it all does pile on at once, doesn't it). We just moved to Bainbridge Island a few months ago from the Boston area. I have good days and bad ones where I feel lonely and isolated just like you describe. I miss my friends from Massachusetts, and although I like my new job it's sad to not yet be invited to any get togethers, or have anyone to invite over. I know that may not help you feel better on the particularly lonely days, but wanted you to know you're not the only one.

    I have faith that it'll get better, though. I remember feeling the same loneliness when I first moved to Massachusetts seven years ago and also remember that it did get better, I made friends, and adjusted just fine eventually. Also, if you happen to make it downtown on a weekday, I'd love to meet up -- I could use a new friend too =). I work in Seattle, but I'm limited to public transit options there.
