BIRTHDAY

Today is my birthday, and obviously I will not be spending it with anyone. Any suggestions as to what to do for myself? I had a pretty horrible weekend. I just moved from my home to get away from my stbx.

happy birthday Sag! Mine is soon too. Do something Different. Last year was my first one without the family, usually it was a quiet day, alone, and the only time my birthday got recognized was when my SIL did something for her hubby who's a day older, otherwise I was alone.

Last year people at work threw me a lunch hour party, was the first time EVER on the job anyone's ever even acknowledged my birthday. Was nice. This year it's a Saturday so I figure I'll be back to Home Alone

Happy Birthday. I know it is tough...All of us know it is tough to face the special days.

I spent mine with my Best Friend and her hubby. That helped.

If money's not a problem then go out and buy yourself something you always wanted but have put off. Happy Birthday!

How about going to an arcade and pretending your a kid again. Or you could go out to dinner with someone and let the waiter sing you one of their songs....or maybe be glad you're NOT going out and they're NOT singing. But I think an arcade would be fun even if you are alone.

Happy Birthday Rodd18. You willbe fine maybe be rough but try to enjoy doing something for yourself or go out and have a drink to celebrate. I did this yesterday on mine and it felt good.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!! What about a move? Agree with lovesuks, if you can afford it treat yourself to something special.

Happy Birthday!

Not sure what is in your area. Possibly, take yourself out for dinner to a nice place in the new area. Anyone at work you are close with, that you can hang with like some suggested?

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!! Go get a manicure and a pedicure.
They are great!! Once you start getting them you will be hooked. There are alot of guys that get that done in the salon that I go to. I like guys with nice hands and feet. Plus, you will probably have some pretty girl massaging your hands and feet.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!
AND YOU KNOW SOMETIMES IT'S BETTER TO BE ALONE AND HAVE PEACE OF MIND AND SERENETY.
THAT'S THE BEST GIFT ANY ONE CAN GIVE TO THEMSELVES.

    I have been here before, a long long time ago and now I am back.Forgive me for not just saying what I want to say,even under a triple dose of antidepressants it is still raw and seeping and I am hesitant at revealing it as at least under the bandages around my heart I don,t have to look at how raw and wounded.My child was cleaved from my heart by his own actions. my child of ten,turning eleven...
