My story is in my about me, if you'd like to know.

My birthday is tomorrow, which means happy birthday gifts, parties, texts, and another year of life. I don't usually celebrate my birthday and my friends know that but they always get me things and tell me happy birthday anyways and I don't think I can do that this year. I don't know how to tell them I don't feel up to it. I hope they'll understand and not think I'm just one of those people that tell others not to get them anything but secretly hope they do. Birthdays always come with anxiety. I normally just have some people over for a couple of hours, maybe smoke, maybe drink, and then they leave and I just cry. I don't cry often but I have always had a meltdown after a birthday. Every year I say it'll be my last birthday but obviously, that's a lie. I don't know why I won't just CTB. My friends know that I'm suicidal, that I have been my entire life. They always treat me like a glass doll and it's sooo annoying. I guess they're just trying to show that they care but I do not need a caretaker! I am a grown man, I live alone, I work, I pay my bills, and I am just fine on my own! I will always prefer to be alone. I wonder what my mom is going to do tomorrow. I wonder if she'll try to call me or send me something. I doubt it, but I still wonder. I remember when I was a little kid, probably in third grade, we would have class parties for kids' birthdays and everybody would bring in snacks for the class and whatever. I loved doing that as a kid and it made me really happy because I felt normal. Of course, I wasn't able to bring anything for my birthday, so my friend's mom brought food for me and I will never forget how angry my mom was when I came home. She thought I was making her look bad and she cried and cried and cried because that's all she knows to do. Birthdays just have a lot of baggage I guess. Never liked them and I never will. Hopefully, this one will actually be my last, I've suffered through enough happy birthday songs I think.
