My Birthday Hoping for a Better Year Than the One I Just Left

β€’19 Replies

It's my 46th birthday. I could say it's my umpteenth year with no friends or a job because that would be the truth, I want to be able to say that it's the year I at least try to help myself out of this pit. I can't look at pictures of me as a kid because I know I let that child down, she had hopes and aspirations that I never even bothered to try and achieve. I want to be able to look at my parents with my head held high and show them that their love and hard work was worth something.

Anything....just anything better than what I've been would be a good start.

We have an illness that puts so much negative in our head. Please don't look at yourself as letting people down.

I hope this year will be better for you.

Happy birthday:) I bake the same cakes for everyone's birthday here. I only have one recipe. Lol

Enjoy your day, do something nice for yourself.

Happy birthday

Thank you very much for the kind response!

Try not to be to hard on yourself, as children we can to things that are silly and possibly not very nice. Children look at life in a different light all is placed down on a learning procedure as we go through approaching adulthood. We sometimes possibly need to reserve judgement as our Parents tell and explain what is right or wrong.

Childhood and through our teens we can possibly rebel to those around us, eventual forgiveness will help us learn for our later years

Give yourself a break and move on. Happy Birthday

Thank you, I did have a lovely birthday so there's that!

You can still achieve a lot more in your life. Our illnesses only make us stop living if we give in and give up.

Create you some small achievable goals, nothing extreme or outlandish, anything that will improve your quality of life.

Happy Birthday. πŸŽ‚πŸŽ‚πŸŽ‚πŸŽ‚πŸŽ‚πŸŽ‚πŸŽ‚πŸŽ‚πŸŽ‚πŸŽ‚ And I make the same cakes as Dolphin, so make sure no matter what you do today, eat cake. Birthdays were meant to eat cake. ❀️🌺

It sounds like you are beating yourself up. Be kind to yourself. Depression isn’t an easy road. Unfortunately life doesn’t turn out like we thought it would. Hang in there and be kind and loving to you.

Thank you for you kind response, I'm doing my best to take it day by day.

Hi I need a friend too. I just have one I live with and honestly she took me in to help years ago. She’s all I have. No other friends. I get the old pic thing too, funny how you brought that up. That’s such unique odd feeling isn’t it? Almost shame, yuck... I’ll be 45 soon, we’d be great friends πŸ‘« glad we are here together... remember, never alone, okay... just say.. only good thing will come to me now. ... or... today will be better than yesterday.... because we all just have to start believing some new things here together if we want this place to be productive, right?

We can absolutely be friends, you are clearly in a stressful situation and should not be alone. I hope that your friend can help you through this and that you can get hold of a good therapist/doctor because no one should be in this much agony.

Not what you're looking for?
