i'm so sorry ur feeling down. r u in therapy, that might help u to deal with what ur feeling? I truly do understand. hugs, tedi

Why are you so down on every birthday, what happened when you were 13?

oh happy birthday mush, I sure wish you didnt feel so bad (((birthday hugs)))

When I was 13 I became mentally ill and it was my first major depressive episode
I didn't have much of a childhood
Much of an adolescence
And here is the start to a hopeless young adulthood

for a lot of us, birthdays are really tough.

take a moment to not look at your adversity, rather look at your accomplishments. you're succeeding, you're educating yourself, and soon the world will be your oyster.

take another moment to eat a big piece of cake!!!

happy day of birth mush.

It's not hopeless, there is a lot of help available. Check with your local mental health center.

Happy Birthday Mush............Happy to me always sounds so cliche' and it isn't always so for everyone. I am sorry you are feeling bad on your birthdays but I believe you bless someone, somewhere, all the time.....xo

I'm sorry you are feelings so bad - but I just turned 50, and after 20 life rocked, till first major crap - after 40, and still have good, decent times... I think I cried at 19 too! Moved out of my first apartment, crappy roommates - expensive mess - but not depressed or doom!

You are not doomed, this could be a new year for you
((((BIG HUG)))) Hold on, it does get better, you've shared good times with us, they will happen again : )

Life CAN get better - if you don't believe me, its simple math of
averages : )

Thanks mojo that's really true actually and so easy to forget when feeling so low ! Not fresh news eh need a fresh perspective and you helped :)

Thanks too shelley and gina I will try to stay more positive ! Xxx

Aw, I'm sorry, mush!!!!

Birthdays are often a time of reflection.
It 'marks time' and we look back over all that's brought us to this place.
Kind of hard not to feel bad that things were a lot more okay way back than they are right now.

And while you can't go back again, there's nothing saying that the future can't be a lot brighter than it currently is!!!

If this birthday is crap, then so be it.
I hope that this feeling doesn't last too long.

Try to keep uppermost in your mind that every despair-filled birthday, with no hope for the future, that has preceded this one, has been followed by times of hope and the possibility of a brighter future.

The day may even come, mush, when a birthday may be a happy time for you!!!!

You know I wish the best for you!!!!!
The world is really lucky to have you in it!!!!!

((((((((((Hugs))))))))))

and the small steps and victories to get there are worth the price as well

hey! happy birthday! i'm sorry you're feeling down. i know how you feel, with the whole crying bit. I was like that all senior year of high school. wake up to crying, cry all day, and go to sleep crying, everyday. this was before i knew i had bipolar disorder. i found out about my mental illness when i was diagnosed summer after senior year. i had finally stop resisting medication and took an anti depressant. it took me out of my depression for a while, but into mania in the summer time. after that i resisted medication for 4 years. but it broke me. and now im on medication and feeling somewhat normal for the first time in a long time. are you taking medication? do you have a therapist? do you have a good support system. well i do hope the crying stops, even if only for a moment of happiness. no but really i want you to be happy all the time. cheer up, you have friends here!

Celebrate you darlin.. I'm very glad you were born.. Big squishy hug for you..xoxo
