How Do You Feel About Birthdays, Specifically Your Own?

A MyDepressionTeam Member asked a question πŸ’­
Hornsby, AU

Is it something you celebrate with absolute joy to be a survivor or denial of aging? (And add your age, would be awesome!!!)

My partner doesn't buy gifts for anyone but me. Not even his family at Chistmas!

I do make a big fuss over my day... but mostly I want to spend it reminding everyone who has helped me stay alive that they are incredible. 😍

Birthdays are for kids, people with good family members and friends otherwise it is another day of being hopeful that someone will love you enough to care, otherwise just another day.

I Love ❀️ my Bday, I'm a Christmas Eve Bday (12/24), but growing up I don't remember having Bday Parties (Celebrating), cause of the way I grew up. But I'm excited ☺️ cause it makes me feel Special, but @ the same time I feel cheated cause it's the before Christmas, it's all good though as long as I'm living to see πŸ‘€ it

I don't like to celebrate my birthday, not because I'm getting older, but because I don't like to be center of attention, it embarrasses me to have people buy gifts or make a big deal over me. I turned 55 Feb 20th (2017)
