Not really.

I'm either working or with my friends on that day so no time to get depressed.

I get depressed when my plans fall through, like last weekend. Bought all sorts of food and beer, and then no one shows, even though they all gave confirmation. So I'm never inviting any of them to anything again.

I am not sure, but I understand that in China everyone celebrates their birthday together one day a year..Chinese New Year. Is this true? Does anyone know if this is factual?

No, birthdays are fun, another year of living is something to celebrate.
One can not help the year they were born, and birthdays are inevitable,
so make fun on that day!!

I do remember feeling depressed when I turned 30. That was because I was unmarried and wiithout children, I thought that life had passed me by!! Well, I prayed to God for a husband year after year until I realized that He must have other plans for me! REMEMBER GOD ANSWERS ALL PRAYERS, HOWEVER HIS ANSWER SOMETIMES IS .." NO"!! I came to accept my "singleness" and went on with my life thanking God for the people in my life that truly love me.. God does not plan a mate for everyone, Jesus Himself ,died on the Cross and did not leave behind a widow and children!! I am now almost twice the age of 30 and still unmarried and childless. I tell everybody that everyday of my life is a holiday. I celebrate everyday because I bask in love the love of God, family and friends and walk in love for God and my fellowman every moment of my life !! I could choose to be happy or sad, I choose to be happy!!!

P.S. @ SCORPIO GIRL..I was writing this post the same time of your post, please read this . maybe it will help you. I have been where you are now!!!

Thank you.

I like cats but not that much so I have already decided to just get a dozen of those taco bell dogs cause they are small. I will be the single scary dog lady.

I have happy in life already though a significant other and kids and all that jazz will be nice one day.

It depends. But so far my last 3 birthdays were great. I went dancing, partying, and had a great time. But I got another one in January coming up and I'm not sure how it's going to be. But I've had a couple in the past that I got depressed over...

I never get depressed on my birthday and just typed this on another thread but it is more appropriate here....

My Momma said to Thank God for every year you are alive to have a birthday, cause it sure beats the alternative. So celebrate every year you get to blow out another candle.

My birthday is two days before Christmas .. that is reason enough to get depressed. It always falls on a Christmas/break up day so I can't take the day off work, if I have a party people are always too busy. But I have worked out a formula.. lol

If my birthday falls on a weekday no point in having a party, everyone is too busy with functions, parties, shopping. If it falls on a Saturday I can organise a party. This year it falls on a Saturday and for the first time I am going to treat it just like another day, no party, and indulge in a full body massage and spa treatment. Now why didn't I ever think about that earlier.

BTW I even thought of going away on my birthday, I can't even do that because of Christmas. But one day I may just surprise everyone !!! lol





see I even have to compete with Xmas emoticons .. lol

yeah I mourn my birthdays now, i stop being happy about birthdays after like 19, now that I have my 24th coming up In about 23 days i am getting ready for some sh*tty days ahead, since some things done already happened I can't wait for what "good" presents I get for my birthday, maybe something good like me getting decapitated.

Hi I hope is not to late to say happy birthday. I saw your posting and believe me, I know exactly how you feels. Mine was on Jan 3 and had the same feeling. Very nice profile by the way.



HAPPY BIRTHDAY.

2 years ago, as I aproached my 35th birthday, I started to really contemplate my life.
I realised that I was turning 35 ans had accomplished much less with my life, than I had once expected to accomplish by that time. Also I realised that statistically, many people who are still single by their mid 30's, stay single.
Thinking about it sent me into a bit of a depression that took quite a while to recover from. 2 years later, I haven't really completely gotten over it.
My 37th is approaching, but I'd rather prefer to not even think about it.

Ha! I just hit my 47th yesterday, and what a grand day it was.

Bring on next yr, I'm ready, Thanksgiving thru Jan 1. SUCK for me, no family to speak of, but come Jan 7th, look out, that my day to celebrate. And no I didn't go out and get hammered.

It was just an all around great day. Next yr will be even better. Like yourself, you'll LOVE your birthdays! JMO

depression is a fact of life. If I were depressed only on my birthdays, I'd be very happy. that's just one day a year, no big deal.

somewhere, you still have time left to achieve many things in life...me, the more I think about it, the less I want to achieve. I want to be the average joe who lived a simple life ( not paris hilton's of course ) and one day will step into nothingness. since nothingness is basically our fate, I'd be happy with that one achievement.
