Undoubtedly, many stay-at-home moms feel lonely. From my perspective, here are my honest reasons why:
- Lack of adult interaction
- My identity as an individual feels lost

Understandably, saying that stay-at-home moms feel lonely seems confusing but it is very real.
It is hard to identify those feelings of loneliness, anxiety, depression, and overall unhappiness. Unfairly, our culture creates guilt and judgment if you state you are not living in full bliss every day.
For me, I have found that honestly identifying my feelings through journaling and creating an action plan to show myself love has been helpful.
