A bad birthday

Today is my birthday and I keep having these dark thoughts of wishing I wasn’t here. I hate even typing that out but I know some of you can relate. I know I’m not the only one.

I am blessed and loved but my depression doesn’t care about any of that. Life could be so much worse but I feel...despair is really the only word that comes to mind. Then I think how ridiculous that is when there are people who go through living hell in their lives.

I’m prideful and I don’t like my husband and especially my kids to know I’m suffering. I put on a happy face and then sneak to the bathroom to cry my eyes out.

I’ve been really doing good lately, I can’t tell you the last time I had a day or week like this one. I’m not sure what set it off...but I would appreciate some warm thoughts, prayers or good vibes if you can spare them. My name is Laura. Thanks ❤️

Happy Birthday Laura! I'm sorry you are feeling down today. Sometimes our birthdays

make us think of where we've been and where we are going in the future. Today though,

is about celebrating you and the special day you were born.

How lucky you have been to be loved and blessed with a husband and children as well as

doing good lately. I always have plenty of warm thoughts, prayers and good vibes to

send to someone. Best Wishes Konagirl01. With love, :) xx
