Bday today

It’s my birthday today and I am all alone. It sucks! I woke up and felt so miserable. Gave myself a panic attack thinking about how I am no where near achieving any of my dreams. I know I have to keep trying and I will have to put in consistent effort every single day for the rest of my life.

But I can’t think of anything else but that I’m all alone and just miserable.

I’m sure I’m not the only one feeling this but I just needed to let it out.

Happy birthday! I have spent many birthdays alone, and it sucks. If you can, do something for yourself today, even if it is small like watching a movie that makes you smile even though you've seen it a million times. Or dancing in your underwear - no one can see you! I am thinking of you today.

Happy Birthday Tjmat! I used to love birthdays, but had to spend the last three alone due to health issues...mental and physical. Indeed, it was awful. My mum used to be such a champion of my birthdays, and losing her somewhat eradicated the joy for me.

I know that you are struggling right now, and feeling alone and isolated, that's understandable - especially with social distancing. For what it's worth, this group (which I have just joined) seems to care immensely...and that is a blessing. I am sending you the biggest virtual Happy Birthday filled with peace and white light that I can...and a virtual HUG!

It's good that you shared your feelings and "let them out". Unburdening yourself in this way makes space for you to let in more positivity.

Perhaps you can think about one thing for which you are grateful today - on this auspicious occasion of your birthday - and focus on that one thing. For example, being alive or having your eyesight to be able to participate in this online support group by typing a post. Whatever brings even that little glimmer of hope to you...that could be your birthday present/thought to yourself.

I sincerely hope you spend the rest of your birthday knowing that there are those of us who understand you, support you, and wish you very well. 🎂 from DogLover1
