[coolkitty1934]

happy early birthday to you and i get it for some reason every year on my birthday it rains..and sometimes you feel dead inside even when others come to your party i put on a mask without even thinking i mean even if i dont get excited even during gifts i act all happy like everything is okay but yeah my birthday can be very depressing for me..

[Therapist104 in reply to coolkitty1934]

Ever since my eighth birthday, I've dreading the day. My friend doesn't know that I dread hem. I just put on a mask and pretend to be so happy.

[RupertBrown]

Happy Birthday! I hate when my birthday rolls around. It sends me into a downward spiral for weeks beforehand. I try to minimize it as much as possible. Luckily I don't really have any friends and my coworkers don't know when it is, so no one really makes a fuss. Hope yours is nice and I hope you have fun with your friend!

[Therapist104 in reply to RupertBrown]

Yeah, thx

[Joeyman]

Happy birthday in advance my friend. Please don’t lose hope. Try to watch comedy content. It has done wonders for me. You are not alone.

[Therapist104 in reply to Joeyman]

Thanks. I like to what "Tommyinnet" on YouTube. He's hysterical.

We All "wear a mask" sometimes. EVERY human does. There are just those situations in life where we do it to help someone else, or to get through a stressful situation with outward grace or professionalism.... all kinds of situations call for a "mask".

Sometimes though, you need to wear a "mask" just for yourself. There is positive body and mind chemistry that happens when you try to put a slight smile on your face. You can literally feel the small change. Then you do it again, and again, and again, as often as you can remind yourself to. Your "reminder" can be something as simple as this picture. When she was alive, my mom would draw this on my pinkie fingernail just before I was wheeled into the operating room for one of many surgeries. Who knew that a Sharpie marker could be so powerful?

Reminder

[Therapist104 in reply to TrustYourSoul]

Yeah, I knew. I've tried drawing that on my nails, and it worked. I only do it on special occasions though, and this is one. Thanks for the reminder!

[TrustYourSoul]

Many people don't get the privilege of having another birthday. Just look beyond Yourself at the thousands of Ukranian people who will tragically not see another birthday. You are fortunate, and so young, with your whole life ahead of you. YOU must make it count, and create your legacy. I am glad you are having another birthday.💜

Paint your nails like this, and let us all see them! 🤣

[Therapist104 in reply to TrustYourSoul]

I don't know about that painting my nails thing, but I'll paint them a different color now. I'll show you in about 10-15 minutes!

[TrustYourSoul]

What will you be doing to help yourself on your birthday?

[Therapist104 in reply to TrustYourSoul]

We went to Defy, pretending to be little kids, and the Zoo in Cincinnati.

[bonkers65]

Happy Birthday. I'm sure you and your friend will have a good day.

[TrustYourSoul]

Happy Birthday!! I didn't see a photo of your birthday fingernails.😔 I have an idea for the perfect birthday gift that You can give yourself, if you'd like to hear it. I do hope your day is peaceful, nice, and that you find your smile. Let me know if you want to receive my birthday gift idea.🙋‍♀️

[Therapist104 in reply to TrustYourSoul]

I'm tryna figure it out.

[Therapist104 in reply to Therapist104]

And what is your idea??

[Therapist104 in reply to TrustYourSoul]

Anyways, they're blue, green, red, orange, black, brown, sliver, purple, pink, yellow. Each nail is a different color.

[TrustYourSoul]

Well, I'm glad you asked!😉

Would you consided maybe changing your User Name to something a bit more positive? I think it will help you. "Slowly Dying Inside" sounds so.... depressing, and I know you want to feel better, so why not have a new User Name, since you are now on your big journey to improve? 😊

[Therapist104 in reply to TrustYourSoul]

My user name describes me.... but my name means "Graceful Strength." Should I change it to that or "Riptide?"

[Therapist104 in reply to Therapist104]

Well, Imma go to bed now, it's 1:00 am and Imma bout to pass out. Night! I'll check this is the morning,

[TrustYourSoul]

I LOVE "Graceful Strength"! It will make you stronger when you keep seeing it. Please? Oh how great that would be! 💜

[Therapist104 in reply to TrustYourSoul]

Yeah, it could. Here's the reason I chose "SlowlyDyingInside" is because it makes me want to overcome that feeling, and it helps me remember what I'm feeling. The reason I chose "Riptide" is because I love that song, and that's as fast as my emotions come. They come as fast as a riptide.
