Tomorrow's my birthday. Depressed!?
well tomorrow its my 17th bday . I always had a big birthday party and a big excitement weeks before with organisation and everything . But now this time .I'm not going to celebrate it . I don't want my family to come over . My friends asked me to go out but i said i won't be home . I don't even want gifts (odd from me) . My parents asked me what do i want and i said nothing , which is so unlike me . This time i feel so empty , I can't get myself cheered up , no matter how hard I try . I just want to get locked in my room , dark , earphones on , and stare at the ceiling . Is this normal ? What's this feeling ? I feel like a sociopath ... and it's not because of growing up , im not sad about that . I mean I am but this is not the reason. any idea would help , thank you.
Is it normal to be depressed about turning 40?
Ugh...my 40th birthday is tomorrow and I'm just not feeling it. I feel like my best years are behind me and that it's all kind of downhill from here. It seems like just yesterday, I was 25 and having the time of my life. Is it normal to feel a little sad about turning 40 or is there something wrong with me?
Why do I always cry on my birthday?
I used to cry too on mine too, but then I figured out why! It was because another year passed and it was a matter of feeling unaccomplished. I felt "what did I do in a year"? It's called reflection on what you've done and where you're going that could make the tears roll.Don't worry if this is applicable to you because it's not mental illness and you're still very young, it's called maturing, that's all. So, now igure out where you want to be next year in you're life and see if you can make a plan fir yourself. It's fun and it'll occupy your mind for some time. Be patient with yourself and always give yourself a deadline to finish something. You have exactly 365 says left until your 18th, so take it from here. Good luck, don't cry and Happy Birthday.
Why do people feel sad on their birthdays?
Yes, birthday is a “judgment day”where you realize that your presence may not be as important for others as you thought. Feeling depressed on it likely means you are not good at playing “pretend”, and don't have good social skills which require that. Your sense of identity is weak, and perhaps you are codependent. You have learnt to put your being self to the background. You have forgotten the basic rule of “give and take”: you have to give to others so as to take for yourself. And you have gotten used to being lazy with your social obligations.It is good to celebrate even if no one gives a damn. You have to organize your own party. Don’t expect others to cheer for you. Aren’t you happy you are alive? You celebrate your birthday for yourself, first of all.Your birthday is the day where you praise your birth, your existence and your presence. It is the day where you say “I exist too mothaf***as. I am here too.”You have to beat the drum and make others dance to it, especially on your birthday. Birthdays are symbolic, yet mutually symbolic, so they count.Get into the habit of preparing for your birthday party. Note the date for yourself first, 2 weeks earlier in your calendar. Find a place to go to celebrate, and something to do. And treat them to something. Prepare a list of people you would like to invite, and then start inviting them in advance. This way you will feel a lot happier every year on your birthday.
My 16th birthday today sucked, how can I make myself feel better?
I had to babysit my little brother all day while my parents worked. He was a huge brat to me and wouldn't listen. I got told happy birthday by a few of my friends, that's it. All I wanted for my birthday was to go eat at a Greek restaurant with my father, but he's going to be home late and it probably won't happen. He's even stopping off to get a pizza for my brother (which will take 20+ minutes even though he's already late) because he's the favorite child and gets all the attention even though it's my birthday. I'm a good kid. I get all A+s, am in the top 10 at my school, never get into any trouble, didn't even ask for a party or gifts for my birthday. I just want people to tell me "happy birthday" and not have to babysit and stay home all day. This is also my last birthday at home because I'm going off to college two years early in the fall. Yet no one cares apparently.
