I hate my birthday!

It's my birthday in 5 days. I hate my birthday.

I'm guessing that has more to do with depression than AS, but I wondered if anyone else here feels the same?
 
Well, I don't like blowing out candles due to my pyrophobia, but other then that, I don't have a problem with it.
 
right now, it's just another day with an excuse to be taken out to dinner, but when i was growing up and got presents from people, i HATED it. i hated the surprise of presents. i hated it even more when the person who gave the present to me was there and watching me open it, because what if i didn't like it and didn't pretend like i did quickly enough? it was nerve wracking!
 
I just had a birthday...

Because I am not really rich enough as compared to my peers (although I have enough to eat and drink, haha), I feel sad whenever my birthday comes.

Why can't I get the Air Jordan sneakers the stores just released? Why can't I get more Evisu jeans? Why can't I drive the latest BMW SUV?

Such shallow-mindedness. But well, that's just me.

Life is worthwhile... more than material wealth.
 
Hi Divrom, I got at least five happy birthdays on this site after being on it only one day-that's more than the prevoius five years on the outside-result! here's an early happy birthday to you!
 
i hated my birthday so much while i was REALLY depressed i refused point blank to participate or allow anyone to say happy birthday to me, no presents, no cards, nothing. this happened twice. i couldnt stand a day all about me, it felt wrong and as im nervous and unsure about things anyway it was like being expected to keep a spinning plate on its stick without falling.
 
I used to love them, but when I got into my teens my friends were all from different social groups and any time I had them all together it went badly. I haven't had a party since then, maybe 10-13 years ago, but I think this coming year I may try again. All my friends are in their 30s and pretty cool, will just have to see. I usually just have an awkward gathering with my mom and her boyfriend's family.
