Birthdays

[ttc2603]

My birthday is soon an I always feel depressed/sad just before my birthday comes.

My whole mood is ruined and I just feel down and it's even worse when my birthday approaches. I don't know why this happens and I don't know why I always feel like this.

Anyone else the same? And any advice on how to try make myself feel better

This happens to me to, every year. I'm aware it's going to happen and try to fight it and not let it happen but it just does. I think it's because aging is out of my control. I am a bit of a control freak. Also it happens around new year. Reflection, regrets and rumination.

Happy birthday (or so they say)

At least I'm not the only one then. It's horrible isn't it it's meant to be a happy day but it's my most miserable day. It happens to me also on every celebration like Christmas and new years and stuff. Hopefully one day it will stop happening for us so we can enjoy the days :)

I actually try not to think about it as it gets close. I can handle a week away but then it begins.

Maybe it's a Taurean thing 🐂

Yes I get this every year! It's no different to any other day, we've no money to make birthdays special so I end up feeling that it's a day that just puts people under pressure to feel like they have to buy/do something for me.
I never end up getting anything I'd want anyway .
Arghh hate birthdays!
