Birthday Blues

happy birthday. sorry it wasn't more eventful. u are just a spring chicken being 38. that's enough to give u a reason to celebrate. wait till u get to my age. lol

Hi Humbug, I'm sorry you had a rotten birthday..."A BIG HAPPY HAPPY BIRTHDAY" from me. My birthday last June was a bit like that, kids at school and hubby at work, I to didn't go out anywhere, but hey we are still living and breathing, so have a great day today, try and put your feet up with a nice book, and treat your self to a big bar of chocolate

Belated birthday wishes. I don't tend to consider my birthday as anything other than a normal day. But the kids don't let me get off that easy lol! I have been very lucky and not really had any birthdays that have given me the birthday blues!

My 50th birthday was the worst yet. I was depressed for about two years and anm just getting over it now. I am going to turn 52 this year and it is okay, now that the big 50 is over. But for about two years I was so depressed I had to go on medicine for it and now I am off of the medicine and I am okay. We don't celebrate birthdays in our family anymore. We don't bother to go out anymore as it is just another day to me now. I don't like birthdays, not my own, anymore. So I just let the day go by now, as per my physicoligist, as just another day. Happy birthday my friend.

I really don't take my birthday that seriously. I mean when I was a kids my birthday was in winter so not many people would come over in the cold. And, it was always to much snow! And, then when I had my daughter two days after my birthday. Well, now I live in another state and the weather is o.k. to go out in people just say I am to old now and give me a simple card on my daughter's birthday. So, I sort of get skipped. So, I guess I really don't care one way or the other any more! Missed to many to even remember when my birthday is half the time and what age I am. I just think it's my daughter's month now! **Peace and Love get's you through everything in Life**

My birthday was yesterday (Thursday) !! I didn't exacly have the birthday blues, but I tell ya - as you get older, birthdays really do just feel like another day! I turned 25 this year and if it weren't for my Pre-Kindergarten students making a big deal out my birthday, it would've been just like any other day. I miss the days of being a kid when you got lots of toys and had a big party with cake and balloons. Kids don't realize how good they have it. lol

well happy birthday, humbug! you can celebrate your birthday up to a week after it, so why not do some fun stuff today or over the weekend? when i was little i always looked forward to my birthday but after i reached 25 i kinda stopped doing that since i heard that everything goes downhill from then on. so i've had birthdays that were just like any other day, nothing special, but i can't call them 'miserable' either. later on i got excited about birthdays again because i believe that's another opportunity to celebrate life. so now i make sure i do something special to celebrate my birthday no matter how small and simple it is and feel great about it. best wishes for your birthday!

Aww sorry that you have the birthday blues, Iv had many unhappy birthdays myself over the years, because most of my birthdays were pretty boring and disappointing due to financial problem's and other things, but Iv also have a few nice birthdays too, anyway I guess everyone has had a few bad birthdays for one reason or another. but maybe your next birthday will be more fun. Heres a birthday cake for you make a wish.

Well, Happy Belated Birthday! I have had some pretty bad ones myself. I have just gotten to the point where I treat my birthday as just another day. I don't expect anything and I don't bother reminding anyone when it is. I figure if they remember, they do, if not, oh well. My parents and brothers always remember and at the very least, send me a text or email. My husband is getting better, and so are my kids, but, if I want a cake, I have to make it myself, if I want a nice dinner, I make that too.

My last birthday was one of my blue-er ones. I turned 25 in December and it was the first time my fiance had to work a weekend at his new job plus I had a tummy ache so I spent the whole day alone in my PJ's. I went to my parent's house for my birthday supper but hardly touched it because I was still queasy. And no one called to wish me a happy birthday. I was also feeling the weight of my age for the first time. I sort of realized that I can't keep saying 'in a few years' for much longer because now it IS 'in a few years'. I got over it though and now I'm happy with being 25 and am also OK with the fact that we wont be ready for kids until we're 30 or so. It was bothering me but I'm good with it now. And happy birthday to you, Humbug!

I know I have, but I can't think of it right off hand. However, my birthday was not that long ago either. It was the 17th of march. My day was no different than any other either. I was sort of disappointed that my friend of 10 years didn't even say happy birthday. But I don't blame her because I am not one that remmebers birthdays and for all I know I could have missed hers too. My sister got me a couple roses and that is all I got for my birthday :( I guess when you get older no one really thinks about your birthday anymore. What made me more mad was that my sons is the day after mine and no one in my family even got him a card!! He turned 4 but I still think they should have gotten him something!

Happy Birthday to you, Happy Birthday to you. Happy Birthday dear humbug??? Happy Birthday to you! And be rest assured that you are glad that you cant hear me sing!!! I was really depressed on my 3oth birthday. I felt like a turned a huge corner and was getting old..After that, they were all fine. Now I am worried about next year..Oh thats right, I am counting backward starting next year so I will officially be 49 again, for the second year!!

Aww, happy birthday for yesterday. Actually I had the birthday blues for my 18th. I locked myself in my room all day and did nothing because my then bf went on holiday without me the day before. He wasnt worth it and I'm so annoyed that I let him ruin my milestone birthday!

Most of all,HAPPY BIRTHDAY!HUMBUG25.

well,belated happy birthday to you.i often get these birthday blues but i really dont know the reason why!!my worst birthday was when i turned 30 aand i was moping alone in my room and was snaping at anybody and everybody who dared to come across me.(maybe because i was turning 30)

I had a few birthdays like that when I was very young so I never bothered celebrating it anymore but since I got married hubby always cares about my birthday for now that's all I want, that he cares about it I'm not bothered with presents, have been living frugal for many years all I want is my husband spending more time with me, and the cat :)

Hi humbug...yes my 50th birthday my son never got me a card or present, my daughter got me a small CD player that was too sensitive she had to take it back, but she gave me the money instead which as she is unemployed I knew she had saved for it, her friend gave me a bunch of flowers and a card, and my best friend Tamara got me a little something too..apart from that I just got cards and my Dad just sent an ordinary plain card nothing personal and no present..it was the worst birthday I have ever had! After all you only turn half a century once but everyone kept saying that the 60th birthday is the one that is celebrated more now! My 50th I will never forget..and guess it still hurts that no-one really thought of how half a century is a turning point in a person's life..even my 40th was just another day so now I just take all of my birthdays like that...hugs littleowl

I wish that I had known Humbug. I'm sending you a belated birthday hug and kiss. My 21st could have been a bad birthday. I had my motorbike vandalised and I can't remember where I left it. The police found it in a ditch. I do know that I was put to bed by someone that I would not have dreamed of going to bed with in a million years. Not my type of guy at all! LOL! HUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUG. XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Yes, lots of times. As I get older, the less I enjoy my birthdays. My hubby was nice enough to take me out to eat and we spent a nice day together. But I didn't get a cake or anything like that. I got a few cards but birthdays are starting to be like any other day for me. By the way - Happy Birthday.

Despite my advancing years, I do like my birthday to be special somehow. I;'ve had a few that were pretty desperate but most of them were o.k. One year, when we weere in a real finacial bind when living on the farm, I told my husband not to worry about my birthday as I knew that money was worse than tight. But I thought that at least he would have bought me a card. Not even that! I cried and cried and he kept saying that I had told him not to bother. and I am crying 'I am not even worth a car?" He got in the car with the three little sons and drove 20 miles to buy me a card - actually 3 cards. As our Wedding Anniversary was the next day and the next day was also Mother's day. I have to tell you that he did not make that mistake again! Happy Birthday my dear friend. It is still your birthday where I live (well, I;m stretching that a bit but who cares?)
