To not want to celebrate my birthday?

I’ve never been a massive fan of birthdays especially after I hit 25 I get a bit depressed around this time each year so prefer just to ignore it. Next week I’m turning 29 and my mum, dad, brother and sister in law want to throw me some sort of celebration but I’m really not up for it, firstly knowing this is my last birthday before I hit 30 just makes me so sad, also this year has been one of the worst of my life. My boyfriend cheated on me with one of my best friends and we split up and I lost the baby I was carrying 3 weeks later at 21 weeks, I isolated myself from all off my friends because they were still in contact with the one my boyfriend cheated on me with so I didn’t want anything to do with them but am now totally friendless, I thought I had my whole life mapped out but now it’s all gone so celebrating is really the last thing I want to do.

That's awful! I totally get why you don't want to celebrate - but could you not consider a sit down dinner in a posh bar or hotel drink to new beginnings! Even do something or go somewhere you always wanted to?im sorry you are having gone through the worst betrayal by your best friend and your ex but you need to try and move on. You don't need those kind of people in your life. So many better people out there! And experiences Too! Please don't waste your life by letting this define you. Im sorry for your loss. Ive been there and i can't really put in words how devastating that is.....but please try and celebrate and look after you

I know how you feel op, fucking hate my birthday.
Don't feel it's anything to feed happy about.
