From: Maelstrom on 25 Aug 2008 16:25 Just 3 for my birthday tomorrow. The one from my Mam had a verse about love and pride etc. I could hardly bear to read it. How she could be proud of me considering how I've turned out I will never understand. I hate my birthday now. A great big reminder of another year unfulfilled, situations unchanged and sad memories. I know I'll feel different in a few days time but it's doing my head in right now. I wish I could just stop thinking so much all the time.

It has taken me years to come to terms with possibly not being quite as worthless and so on as I've felt for as long as I can remember. Two good therapists worked hard to get me to this point, and it's still an odd sensation. The Depression still doesn't accept it - but the Depression is not me. -- -- ^^^^^^^^^^ -- Whiskers -- ~~~~~~~~~~

On top of that, I suspect that you've managed to alienate most of your family - and its your family who carries on sending birthday (etc) cards even when everyone else has given up or you know no-one who'd be inclined to do that sort of thing anyway.
