Birthday, looming divorce, just blue

[enchantedpixiedust]

Hi all

Today has been a beating and I can feel myself on my annual slide downhill around my birthday. I wasn't like this till mid 20's or so, now around each birthday I get bummed thinking about what I didn't do, where I am in life vs where I had planned, etc. Does anyone else do this or am I psychotic?

My divorce will be final on Monday as well (the day before the dreaded bday), I think that although it's all for the best it is still bringing me down too. It's all agreeable and we're friends, its just a permanent end to things and that's that.

On top of that I had to use $400 from the Disney fund for two tires, alignment today.

Ugh, sorry for moping around, just blue all around I guess.

I hate stinky blue days. Have you done anything nice for yourself yet today? It might be time to go splurge on a good book or a manicure and treat yourself the way you deserve to be treated.

I agree, all those things are enough to get most people down. Don't feel bad that you feel bad. If it were me, there would be a lot of chocolate, comfort food, and reading. I always read when I need to get back into coping mood. I be nice to myself and let myself do the things that make me feel happy. Find some ways to treat yourself, just the little things. Also, try to find five things at the end of each day that were neat about the day.....ie pretty sunset, cute person, etc...

Yes, I've felt like that. Been divorced several years now and a single parent too.
Be good to yourself on your birthday and treat yourself to something nice.

First of all, Happy birthday!

I get those days too. I try hard to focus on the good things in life.

But I know it can be hard sometimes, esp. when it all seems to happen at once.
