Why Can't Things Go Right?

It's my birthday and I was dumped today by my boyfriend and even If I remotely wanted to celebrate my birthday I have no one to celebrate with. How sad and pathetic is that? I spent a majority of it crying and watching movies. Every time things go right and I'm happy something has to go wrong and take my happiness away. Why can't I be completely happy and stay that way? I don't know what to do anymore. I just so lost in life.

Happy Birthday. I am so sorry you were dumped. As for complete happiness: I'm afraid that doesn't exist. We all go through hardships in life so I don't think anyone stays happy forever.

Happy Birthday. I agree with SingYourGutsOut, I definitely believe the bad times help us appreciate the good times more. Here's to hoping for more good times for you this year!!! And any guy who would dump someone on their birthday is just not a quality person. Better off without that. Hugs to you!

Happy birthday! Listen, I don't know this person but they obviously were not very considerate, let alone worth your time, if they were willing to drop a bomb on your big day.

You'll be happy again, as long as you get back on the horse!

Thanks everyone. Your replies has truly made my day. I truly appreciate it. My ex boyfriend truly wasn't worth the tears I shed. It didn't take long for me to realize what a jerk he is. And my broken heart is healing up nicely. I've made so many new friends. And I'm just focusing on myself and making myself happy instead of relying on others to do it for me. It is a new year and new opportunities and experiences are waiting to happen. So again thank you for all your kind words and support.

    Do you think anxiety is genetic or comes from your environment? What are your thoughts?

    Many of you know Mr K told me to "shut your mouth" in March 2025 when we took a road trip to Alpena Michigan. Since that time, we have had lots of ups and downs but I have never intentionally hurt Mr K in anyway. And when we first started dating in 2024 he let me know, although he is an engineer by degree, he has an extremely low EQ.  Overall, he is ok (not off the charts nice like other guys in...
