i’m alone on my birthday

[bunintherug]

the roads are frozen, i won't be able to see my partner, i'm alone and i've been crying all fucking day, and i kept yelling at them on the phone. i didn't mean to and i feel so bad about it. i just don't want to be alone, i don't want to sleep alone, i don't want to be me

There is nothing special about a birthday, this is a cultural convention. But not having people to share joys and sadness is sorely missed.

that's not helpful in the slightest. i spent the last 3 birthdays alone in foster care, i've worked hard to make sure this year would be better. and it isn't. just because you don't care about birthdays doesn't mean i don't. i do, a lot, that was insensitive

Man I'm sorry you can't spend your birthday with anyone. Though I don't value birthdays very much, I understand that you and others do. How about you do something fun for yourself. If the roads are too iced for comfort, call your partner and talk to them for a while, watch your favorite movie, cook your favorite meal, take a nice bath, or anything else you enjoy.

Best wishes and I hope you can celebrate your birthday better tomorrow.

My 18th birthday was the first time I was alone on birthday and have been ever since (besides my family, but they don't really count as I don't want to see them). Just sitting in my room, doing the same stuff I always do as if it was any random day. Thanks SAD. And back then, I didn't even really cared. But hopefully the last one will be the last. If that makes you feel better.

Happy birthday, sorry you were alone on your birthday that must suck and really hurt. Loneliness is the biggest killer :(

 

[Worndown]

I understand. Those with birthdays this time of year do have unplanned celebrations alone.
It sounds like you would benefit from a gathering more than most. I am sorry this has stressed you so much.
Congratulations on breaking free from foster care.
From one person stuck at home due to the weather to another, Happy Birthday!

Happy birthday to you
I'm sorry you were alone on your birthday, that is so disheartening... I went through the same thing when I moved country and not even my father texted me a happy birthday, everyone forgot about me.
I read you were really looking forward to make this birthday better, I hope it was still a good day for you, doing some online activities with your partner, having a relaxing day as much as possible.

I do care about birthdays and I think it is important to be remembered and cared for on that day. I wish you had a great day and continue to have a great day today ❤

Happy Birthday to you and so sorry you were alone.

I've been alone for my last several birthdays, which is also in the first week of Jan. Just reminds me each year how I don't have anyone other than family who have any interest in me. To add to it downer it was, I was pretty sick too.

It totally sucks being so alone and I don't see that changing anytime soon.

People die and people live. The universe will not care about your one special day in 365 days

Yea Happy Birthday! You're could be worst off. At least you have us. I've been bed bound since 2016.
From 2017 on I've spent all holidays bdays and new years alone. Even my grandma I live with ends up doing stuff with the family. It's good that this site is available for us to vent and bitch about life with each other. I feel I've been missing out on social media since then. It usually could almost always get some what worse.my bday is 1-19

it is nice having this site, having people actually understand and not minimize my problems makes me feel a lot less alone. happy early birthday <3

BPD is a monster inside your head.
Is there anything calming you can do?
Go for a walk?
A pleasant distraction is needed.
