It’s my birthday and I’m sad on it

Every year I hate my birthday because it reminds me of how truly alone I am does anyone else ever get sad on birthday?

@samueltyler2 Yes. Had a couple of rough weeks but now could be moved closer to a rehab facility--but insurance has not approved the move yet so we wait...very difficult. Long drives every day. But she does open her eyes sometime and seem to know who I am...

@Docdon23 i hope there is someone in the hospital fighting for her to get accepted.

@samueltyler2 Yes--I have spent hours and days on the phone and have an advocate, legal experts, medical experts and more working on it. Some of it is just unraveling the exact reasons for insurance decisions. Some are based on outdated information--her situation has improved from three weeks ago. Thank you.

Its my birthday too. I used to feel that way as well, but I'm a lot older than you and as the years have gone by, it has basically just become another day now.

I used to, but now I just take it as another day! I think nothing of it, I don't expect anything and I really don't want anything. I learnt how to embrace a new age without it getting me down! I pour the wine, put my feet up, watch a movie and turn off all connection with the outside world! Bliss! And happy birthday! 🎉

Happy Birthday!

I only ever really get sad around Christmas and New Years. I don't have anyone special to spend the holidays with :(

So right now is my sad time 😢

When I was a young kid, I always looked forward to my birthday because it was the one day of the year where I would be allowed to get away with not having a bath before going to bed.

This is why I don't bother with my birthday. It's just another day and if it weren't for the emails from family or my roommate bringing it up I doubt I'd even notice it's my birthday.

Please don't be sad, think of pleasant things and also look towards the future and dream of things you'd love to accomplish to be happy. Even if you're alone, go out and enjoy yourself.... go to an arcade, shop at the mall or watch a movie or buy the food you love. What's important is you celebrate your special day.

Mine is tomorrow and I celebrate it because I'm grateful to be alive.

So I wish you a happy birthday and I wish you happiness 😊

I mostly just forget about mine, the season can generally get everyone down, i think.

I sometimes wish that everyone would forget about my birthday

No, not on my birthday. Even though they’re usually not the people I most want to hear from I always get lots of people posting happy birthday on my Facebook page, and I usually end up doing something with friends that day too. Aren’t you married?

@Theyitis divorced

I feel you, as you get older birthdays become less interesting and become just another boring day. Still Happy Birthday, I would buy you few drinks if I could haha.
