I am a SAHM for a 1 year old little girl. I love her and love being home with her but have been feeling more and more "stuck." DH has plenty of hobbies (band practice once a week, soccer game one night a week) which I support because those are things he enjoys but I feel like I don't have anything for myself. DD is still EBF which limits my nights out (I've never been able to pump).
What do you do for yourself? How do you make time? If you BF how do you get time away?

I attempt to get dinner with friends once a month, if not more frequently. In our house DH does the night time routine, so I start to get a break around 7, which helps a lot. But, when I'm starting to get super stir crazy, DH insists that I do something by myself (go shopping, get lunch with friends, just anything that gets me out of the house with no babies).
Even though you are still BF, you must get more than two hour break, so couldn't you go get a message, haircut, shopping trip, go to Starbucks to read a little? I think it is super important to get away, it has helped me so much.
