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?

Yep. I have. As I recall, I was in the exact same fix on my 25th birthday. So much so that I took the day off, decided champagne was the way to go, and promptly slept through the birthday party my friends had for me at my then boyfriend's house. Yes, I was there - just on the sofa. Additionally, I had to explain to my family why I missed the dinner they had made for me which was scheduled to take place prior to the party at the boyfriends.
Why did all this happen? Because I was absolutely sure no one would care a whit about my birthday and I felt utterly alone going though this so called 'special' day. Yes, I know exactly how you feel. Don't do as I did and completely miss your 25th. And - Happy Birthday, Happy Love !!

Oh, Dear, I'm sorry. I was the very same way on many birthdays of mine. This year, shockingly, being the exception to the rule. I hope you did end up finding some calm in the day. I know birthdays can be hard. Especially with phone calls and interacting etc.
Happy Birthday though! Maybe even give yourself your own birthday day where you do as you want. Maybe then it wont be such a stress on you and you can enjoy yourself, yeah?
