Ever get the birthday blues?!
Question: I'm turning 36 in about two weeks. I find I always get really depressed around my birthday---ever since I was a teenager. Is this typical? What can I do to get past it?

i'm 24 and i get depressed every year too. some people do and some people lover their b day's. i hate the attention and for me it just reminds me another year has passed by and i'm not where i want to be. but im struggling with anxiety problems. i don't know your situation. i would just keep yourself busy for the next couple of weeks so you don't think about it much. and on your b day do whatever makes you happy. it is the one day of the year when we should be able to do what we want. good luck.
I get sorta depressed too when my b-day comes around..Im only 21, but that's life. Just gotta keep busy...that's what I do lol
I feel ya. I can honestly say the best birthday I could remember was my 30th. I had a poker party the night of, then flew out to South Beach for a week with my best friend. I was just at a good place in my life which made that birthday special: I lost 30 lbs and looked fabulous, I got healthy by eating right and excersizing, and seemed to have good friends surrounding me.
Too bad the year that followed wasn't so glorious. My best friend that I took to Florida the previous year made some b.s. excuse about her car keeping her from seeing me on my big day. My boyfriend that I was madly in love with didn't see me either. I spent the entire day crying in bed, ALONE! I didn't see anyone that day. My 31st was the worst so far. I'll be turning 33 in 11 weeks. With the year I've had(CRAPPY), I can't imagine this birthday will be any better than the past 2 have been!
