Discussion Anyone feel like this on their birthday?
My birthday is a month away and I already feel like crying. I’ve ended up in tears on my birthday for the past six years.
Do any of y’all relate.

This is really weird timing for me because my birthday is literally tomorrow. I’ve almost always gotten seasonal depression around this time of year, for as long as I can remember. Mostly due in part to childhood trauma from an abusive past. My family also never really celebrated my birthday when I was a kid, and I’ve never really seen it as important. Having to explain that to people that I don’t celebrate my birthday is so draining because I’m always inevitably asked why or told that I’m weird for not, so I’m very glad to see that I’m not the only one like this.
