It’s my birthday today and I’m sad about it
It's my birthday today and I'm feeling a little depressed about it. I have much to be grateful for but I'm not where I want to be in life and I tend to get sad around birthdays and holidays especially ever since I turned 30. Does anyone else go through this and have advice? I just want to be able to enjoy my days.
Happy birthday to you Me too. I always feels sad on my birthday lately It's okay to feel like that. Sad is also part of us Life is hard already. Don't be so hard to yourself. Thank you for being alive You are doing great
@Iwanttobehappy1993 thank you so much for the kind words! It's nice to know I'm not alone in feeling this way. I hope you have a great day! 💙
Hey, happy birthday ❤️ and I can relate to feeling sad around such 'special' days. For me I think it's the pressure of having to feel good because it's a special day or to enjoy it with people or to do something dramatic. It's not necessary. Spend the day the way you want, it can be like just any other day or can be special in your own way. Be kind to yourself no matter what day it is, maybe think about what makes you sad and see if you can come up with some solution that can help you enjoy the day the way you want but know that it's okay to feel the way you feel ^__^
@ChasingShadows thanks so much for your kindness! You're right, there's always so much pressure whether it's from ourselves or society to have such a perfect day. I'm just going to relax today and eat my favorite foods. I hope YOU have a great day! 🙂

I have felt the same way on my birthdays since the age of 25.. that I am not where I should be... that I could have done so much more .. birthdays serve to remind me of things that haven't worked out in my life... but, as you said, let's focus on what we have. There are many blessings to be happy and grateful about. 🙂
@turqoiseOrange7980 yeah I don't know why we put so much pressure on ourselves when we get to a certain age. Or why we focus on what we don't have rather than what we do have. But really age is just a number and we can accomplish things at any age! Anyway it's nice to know I'm not the only one who feels this way 🙂

True. Wish you a Happy Birthday.
