I've been very depressed this past week. It'll be another birthday with just my parents this year, but my parents and I have a really poor relationship at this point and it makes me not want to have a birthday celebration at all. And I'll be one year older while still living at home, and that almost as depressing as the poor relationship with my parents. So I'm sad.

And I'm sad because I was too forward with my best friend, a lot of hinting at romantic feelings, and it's now day four and he has not responded, even with a couple light texts since then. So that makes me feel terrible because the one person who means the most to me is probably not wanting to talk to me anymore.

I don't know how to cope. My parents have not mentioned my birthday at all, and my best friend is mad at me too. I feel so lonely and heartbroken. I want to crawl into a hole and never come out....Happy ****ing birthday to me...

Dear LiteraryLark,

How heartbreaking. It is awful that so many things have fallen upon you at the same time. Any one of the things you mentioned is a heavy burden. I can't imagine having all of them weighing one down. I hope your birthday will somehow be good. You deserve a break!

Sincerely yours, Yao Wen
Thanks for this!

You may to rectify that issue with your parents. My sister doesnt do anything for me or even say happy birthday for me. I think shes very ungrateful towards me. I was even going to go to her workplace, and ask her manager to consider giving her a pay raise. I told her this she was unhappy about it. She has my number but doesnt talk to me. She is my sister but honestly its gotten to the point where i do not care anymore. Just do what you can, and if if doesnt work you may have to leave it as it is. Its different for you, its your parents that looked after you when you were young. Its alot easier to get your parents to love you then the older sister.
