((((FeelingSad))))

I hear you loud and clear. My birthday just passed and I dreaded it. It holds so much terror and unpleasant memories. I worked up to the day all week. It got harder and harder to cope. I did my best on my birthday to be happy and to hide any feelings I had. My friend did her best to help me and she did. I appreciated all she did and it was not until that night that I allowed myself to feel anything. And then it really hit me and I was so afraid.

My birthday was a good day spending it with the one person that has meant so much to me and who is my good friend. If not for her I would have spent it alone and felt really bad. For me it is about changing the day to mean something good and replacing the bad with positives.

I am sorry you are dreading your birthday. How about trying to create new memories nothing that has to do with why you feel so bad? Know we are here to walk with you through that day and any day you need us. Thank you for sharing.
