I've battled through many things. I have had moments this year feeling generally ok. But there is something about a birthday that brings me down very low. I feel incapable of ridding my ideations, and I feel incapable of letting things go. My mind fixates. It dwells, and I suffer.

Ooh Happy Birthday! I'm sorry to hear your birthday depresses you... I hope you can find something, no matter how small, to enjoy about your day. Can you take off work? Maybe go someplace that is special to you (a park, to a good restaurant, to a museum?)

Yeah, I feel a bit like this about birthdays.
My parents never bothered much about them. I always wanted a party like other kids, but never got one. I remember a kid at school moaning at me, saying I went to her party and never asked her back. But my mother wouldn't do anything like parties, she wouldn't let people in her house let alone let me have a party!

I hate my birthdays too, I had a lot of problems when I turned 50. I used to ruminate endlessly every year. However over the last few years I have managed to turn it into 1 or 2 funky days followed quickly by thinking of how much I learned in the last year. I learn something new everyday by coming to sites like this.

Thank you PC.

I get this feeling about birthdays too.

here's a little protest against birthdays.

Is it ok to give you a for tomorrow?
