This may sound odd, but I tend to get sad on my birthday. As of two hours ago, I just turned 25. I already cried an hour into my birthday! I think it has something to do with expectations. The days leading up to my birthday are exciting but, on the day of, it just feels like another day and I just want to get it over with. I become very emotional. Suddenly, I feel incredibly unimportant even though I never actually had any bad birthday experiences to justify that. Most of my really close friends and family make an effort to celebrate my birthday and I appreciate the effort, but I just feel so alone. I wish I knew why! I'm not sad about my age or how far I've progressed in life...age isn't important to me so I know that's not the root of my sadness. I really don't know how to pinpoint my feelings. Has anyone felt like this?
