Depressed on my Birthday

Hey Ladies
Have any of you felt really depressed right before/ on your birthday?
I have always been ‘forgotten’ on my birthday by my entire family it’s not easy sharing the day with younger twin siblings and grandfather. Hectic right?
Now here is why I’m depressed over this whole day!!! My cousin is getting married today (again on my birthday) and guess what I’m not invited! But the entire family is??? NICE RIGHT!!!
So for the 4th year I will be alone with no family to join me on this day! Every year it’s the same my family always arranges something the same time my birthday is and if I try to do something for myself everyone decides to go to the other event….

We are a close family but I have always been the blacksheep… which sucks because yes I was a terrible teen I will admit but never have I caused any embarrassment towards them. I have however grown up turned myself around and have a beautiful family.
It sucks because I never receive messages or calls as I am on the bottom of the food chain it seems. I always go out of my way to visit or send a gift if it’s their (spouses, children) birthdays but easily me and my family always get forgotten.
I know I sound like a child to most of you ranting on but just need to get this off my chest.

Happy birthday to you. Time to change your mindframe. Dont start the day off negative. Forget about other family at the wedding & go and enjoy your birthday with your kids & partner. Hope you have a great day. X

Happy birthday! I would start your new year by cutting contact with some people, such as the cousin who is getting married. Has no one else in your family asked why you have been excluded? Unless you have a history of excessive drunkenness or violence then it’s mean to not invite you. Stop sending gifts and cards and think of yourself a bit more.
