I dropped out of mine after going a few times. They were a very well established group and I found that I was playing catch up...... it was harder work than it should have been. Also, missy was just a bit too little to appreciate the other kids, so I figure I've got a bit of time to find some alternative for her when she gets a few months older.
A few friends have also got babies roughly the same age as missy so I try and catch up with them every week.
I had tried various mothers group and felt exactly the same as you. It is really hard when you are among people yet feel so lonely. I ended up giving up. It wasn't until I was diagnosed with PND and joined a support group that we are now friends and we see eachother every few weeks. I think because we all opened up to each other and they were genuinely lovely ladies.
Some playgroups are for babies, you could give that a go. Keep trying until you click with people you like. Perhaps you have a local community centre that holds play groups. Apart from that you could start up a chat with women you see with babies the same age as yours and suggest a coffee. Best of luck
