1..2..3.. Happy New Year! Noticed I said happy new year instead of happy birthday.. ‘cause yep.. a whole new 365. You’re now a year older and although it’s something to celebrate you find yourself a little down. A little disappointed. A little what’s the point? Yea..
Birthday Blues.. feelings of sadness, anxiety, or apathy around one’s birthday. Can also be referred to as Birthday Depression.
Our birthday is the same time each year and each year you find yourself having mixed emotions around your day. Sometimes it even extends to after your birthday. Feelings of unfulfillment, being behind, not where you’d thought you’d be at a certain age. Maybe even close friends and loved ones have passed and are unfortunately not here to celebrate with you anymore.
Maybe your birthday is just a traumatic time overall.
You look in the mirror and have no idea what is actually happening just the fact that time keeps fleeting by..
If this sounds familiar, you’re not alone love. A lot.. and I mean A lot of people experience “Birthday Blues” ..
