Well HAPPY BITHDAY I'm new at this. Only been on here a couple weeks. I left a reply for only one person so far. Sounds like you don't like holidays much, just like me. It always helps me if I can talk to someone about just anything. People are so preoccupied now days, so it's not easy to get someone to talk. So I would like to here from you and the problems your dealing with. Maybe we could help each other. Please let me know. Hope your Thanksgiveing is a good one. Take care.

Happy Birthday! I understand, Another year older, another year feeling like your not where you need to be or want to be. Another holiday where potentially you had a not so great family to go back to, or no family at all, or potentially you cant be happy seeing others happy because you are not. Whatever the case is, finding the source of what is causing you this depression is the biggest first step and can help you move from it. If holidays are hard, take a second to pretend they dont exist, and you just do you. Take space from anyone celebrating if you need to and pretend its an ordinary day

Happy Birthday,

husband and I both come from dysfunctional families, so sadly holidays are difficult. My family loves each other but can't seem to quit the stupid arguing and just get along. I've tried many times, but at a point enough is enough! I will be sending positive thoughts your way.

    Kinda tired of doing life alone. All my friends and cousins seem to have more pressing priorities, so I do solo road trips. I have connected with a few new friends but they are not into road adventures like me (maybe I will research travel groups). Today was MSU Hidden Garden in Tipton MI about 1 hr 15 min from Lansing MI. Sometimes being a family of one is fine.... but I miss my mommy, husband...
