I don’t celebrate my Bday a lot, it’s just another sad day. I can’t feel 100% happy anymore on this date, all I do is cry a little bit, but there are three thing that are worth celebrating.
- I am eating well again, almost two years since I’ve won the battle against anorexia.
- 6 months without cutting! Yey! Self harm free for half a year, I am so happy because I am not worried anymore about revealing my scars in front of others. Such a huge step.
- And 6 months without suicidal thoughts. I didn’t win this battle yet, but I am on the right path of life.
So I don’t wanna celebrate my birthday, I want to celebrate life. I want to celebrate my revival. I want to celebrate the fact I didn’t give up! Don’t give up too, let’s all give life a try together.

Even though you’re not past this completely, you’ve still made some huge progress. That’s really encouraging, thanks for sharing. I hope you’ll keep going til this is feeling is just a memory.
Happy Birthday anyway.

I love the idea of finding positive things to celebrate on your birthday. I think I’ll do that on mine. Last year’s wasn’t too bad but I’m back to dreading this one. And those three things are huge – they’re amazing. Thank you for this post (and everything you’ve managed to do). It’s so inspiring. Happy Not Giving Up. 🙂
I am glad you liked the idea, try doing that on your bday, it’s so good to feel that you accomplished beautiful things that celebrate life! You are gonna have an amazing birthday, when is the big day?
Thank you so much for the kind words!
Mine is months away, I’m just being gloomy in advance, haha. I’m hoping by the time my birthday comes around I might have built up a few more things to celebrate, but either way I’ll definitely make a list. I hope you had a nice day, Amy. 🙂 Thanks again for the post.
Why is it that everyone thinks because I choses to exit on my own TERMS it is giving up? or it makes me a COWARD? well there is a plan of death for everyone and noone knows how or when it will happen, perhaps this is the HOW and tonight is the WHEN!!!!!
today is a important day for me, why showing your negativity? I am not talking about you, and I am not saying you are a coward. If you can’t interpret what I am saying, then try again instead of saying twisted things.
That’s great!!!! Happy Birthday 🙂
I’m so pleased you have those things to celebrate! and they are HUGE things too!
A massive well done to you.

And a massive thank you to you, Romanticide! 😀 xo
Happy Life, Amy! Beating anorexia is huge. Keep taking those life affirming steps and leave a trail of breadcrumbs for others to follow.
