Feel a bit sad about my birthday but didn't think I would

I'm not really bothered about birthdays and don't normally do much. I used to go out for a drink or dinner but haven't for a while and I don't feel like I need to.

This birthday I've been on my own and I'm so sad. I think maybe I am bothered about my birthday after all. Just feel a bit fed up.

One of my new years resolutions was to make some friends and I've joined a running group. So I'm trying to be proactive. I work full time so don't meet parents at school and I share custody so don't have lots of free time. I do have friends but I've moved around and don't have anyone nearby.

I just can't believe how fed up I feel.

Happy Birthday Cake can you have a nice glass of wine and treat yourself to a nice dinner tonight? (maybe a favourite takeaway)

Happy Birthday!! Nip to the supermarket, get some favourite snacks/food, some posh ice cream and a really nice bottle of wine or ingredients for a cocktail.

Stick on a favourite film and be kind to yourself. You’ve got this. Wine Flowers

Happy Birthday Cake
I agree get yourself a movie and snacks/drinks for this evening, and if you can, go online and get yourself a gift and then plan something to do tomorrow which you will enjoy. You sound lovely and I hope you make some nice pals at the running club.

I hear you. It's my 50th in a few weeks. Half a century. I've survived 4 serious life threatening injuries/illnesses. I feel I should celebrate. But I don't have a single friend that wants to do anything with me. Probably spend the day crying tbf

P.s Happy Birthday
