Anybody Else Have Problem Around Their Birthday?

I found this year's difficult and I figured out that for me, it's because another year has gone by and I don't feel I've made enough progress in my healing.

Nobody ever celebrates mine anymore. My oldest daughter was the only one that did and the last one was 3 years ago but other than that... Nothing. No anniversary no Christmas no nothing. I don't get presents cake nothing. I'll get a text though

The EHS abuse I had to endure ended on my birthday and after xmas I almost ended my life, it...

Hi and I'm really sorry for your pain first off, ... birthdays have for most of my life been a time I get kind of down but this past bday two weeks ago was such a horribly painful time, much of it due to the fact my long term bf was incarcerated for the reason of assaulting me... also feeling incredulous that something that serious I couldn't even share it w my own mother because she happens to be a sociopathic personality ( malignant narcissistic personality disorder) so it is extremely damaging and harmful to share anything with her... so on my bday I went downhill rapidly between the day before my birthday til three days after, to point of becoming actively suicidal-- truly rock bottom, I think everyone has the obvious association of a Birthday being a happy time we feel loved and celebrated for having been born right that's what a birthday is... so if there's a sharp contrast there it makes most anyone really feel very down
