My b'day is Monday. I am so depressed. I can't get anyone, friends or family, to do anything with me, which is making it worse. I always have to do things with them, but god forbid them to even try to cheer me up. I am trying so hard to control myself from doing something stupid or losing it. I hate being bored and depressed.

I'm sorry you are feeling like this. I just had my 40th birthday and because I am not doing well I asked to postpone it until I am better. Maybe you can arrange to celebrate another day with someone, either when your depression is better or just when people are more available? I know when I was working Mondays were tricky because things always built up over the weekends and made it hectic so that I couldn't plan on much at all on Mondays ever.

I know the feeling! All I EVER do is sit at home, watching everyone who HAS a life come and go, as if no one notices how alone I am. Or else they just don't care as long as I'm not ruining their plans.
I'm sorry this is happening to you! And I hope that SOMEHOW you manage to have a Happy Birthday! I hope someone with a heart will acknowledge your special day, and do something nice for you!

Post-Christmas birthdays suck. I know this because I was born in mid January, when everyone is broke and no one feels like partying! Add some depression to that and it really sucks!

Hope you're able to at least enjoy some cake and a couple of presents. ((((HUGS))))
