What’s there to be happy about?
-I have no real friends, no family, no significant other.
-No one is going to be celebrating my birthday next week.
-Life sucks when you’ve lost your will and motivation to live.
-Every year we just get older and older. More health problems, wrinkles, etc.
-Wtf have I accomplished in my life? Nada. All I have is suffering.
-Everything in my life is broken.
-Lots more but am too depressed to even type any more. Sigh.

That’s how I felt on my last birthday.
Try to do something to treat yourself and have some fun, even if it seems like no one else notices.
Buy myself a cake? oy, my life is so sad…
Wow. I could have written this. My birthday is also next week. My abusive mother and aunt will be giving me a cake and gifts along with lots of passive-aggressive shit. That’ll be my “celebration,” as I have no friends, boyfriend, etc either. I hate that I’ve even lived to see this birthday. I hope yours is better than you expect.
Thanks. We shall see. I’m not doing very well these days…
my birthday is next week, too… shall we celebrate together?
sure. we’ll eat a slice of cake together lol
hehehe. what day is it? mine’s the 17th.
Me too!
OMG. okay, we’re birthday buddies. 🙂 <3
I turned 157 yesterday. I understand.
Re: Accomplished anything with my life… This tore me up for years and years. I’m so over it now because I understand in 100 year nobody will remember me. The key, for me, is was I kind? Did I care for others? Did I make people laugh and ease their pain? Hell yes. To me, that counts for a bunch!
The bankers that created the 2009 housing bubble probably think they accomplished great things, but they created untold suffering. Fuck their accomplishments.
The drone pilots that do as their are ordered and kill children in the middle east probably think they are accomplishing something with their military careers. Fuck their accomplishments.
Yeah, birthdays can be hard. Please take one moment to pat yourself on the back for NOT killing the innocent, NOT fleecing the hopeful, NOT pushing families into crisis, NOT encouraging hate and fear.
Yeah, you are flawed. Yeah, you are locked up by depression. That sucks, but it’s completely normal. It’s OK to be normal. Happy birthday!
Dreading my birthday in a couple of months. It brings on extreme depression and yeah, you do look at your age and what you haven’t accomplished. I think I’m just not going to be so hard on myself this year. Nothing matters anyway. We are harder on ourselves than other people.
I hope you can find some way to celebrate. Watch a favorite show or movie. Have a drink, cake or ice cream if you want. Listen to music. Do whatever makes you feel good. Birthdays don’t have to be a big deal. It’s just another day to me.
Wish someone can send me some real N on my bday. That would be nice. I don’t want to struggle with life anymore. I just don’t see life getting better.
