Just wondering how many of you have had a crisis on your birthday? the past 2 years i've just turned off my phone and stayed locked in my room and wouldn't speak to anyone. i call it a quarter life crisis. This year i actually decided to throw myself a party as an attempt to avoid feeling so blah. but the party was on saturday and my bday is today...im feeling alright so far since im working but i felt myself starting to feel really down last night before i went to bed (around 2am which means it was technically my bday already)
I think the key to not feeling so shitty is to stay distracted and not think about the fact that it *is* my day of birth and i *am* older
 
First of all happy birthday.

I don't get depressed about a birthday. I don't really put that much significance on any day on the calender, but if you must a birthday is a remembrance that you are successfully guiding yourself through life. I am happy for to each year as the alternative is...

Cheers.
 
Happy Birthday Asylum!

( 1/4 life?? You don't look a day over 1/5)

Asylum: you'd better get over it soon, it is only gonna get worse!!!

I mean, how's he going to feel when he finds his first grey pube or finds a little extra hair in his brush?
 
Never understood the birthday blues.

Personally when its my birthday I tend to reflect and enjoy life/existence the most on that day. I relish the day. I feel touched on that day.

I love a good party but on that day I prefer it to be a quiet "near and dear" day... I only want to be around those that matter the most to me.... I also get very emotional but in a good way and I never show it. I just keep it to myself.

Especially if you go to your favourite MP !!!:D

lol... I knew someone would say that

Funny enough.. MPAs and SPs are the last people I want to see that day. Probably goes back to only wanting to be around those that matter to me.

My birthday is next week, getting to old to stress over it now. I just take the day off work and Go Wild with the Ladies.
Anyone interested in having some fun send me a PM.
 
I'm coming up on the big 4-0

That said, birthdays, and the concept of of getting older, has never bothered me.

The way I see it, I only know of one way to keep from getting older, and that is getting dead.

I'll take getting older :)

Middle age crisis can do these things.

Ditto.
 
When I was in my late 30's, I started to get really apprehensive about turning 40. Then I realized I was WASTING positive energy on something I had zero control over. I know this sounds obvious but our own negative thoughts can drag us into the weeds emotionally.

Ultimately, I told my Mom I did NOT want a special "40th Birthday" bash. 40 was only a number between 39 and 41.

Now I'll be turning 42 in a few weeks. If you passed me on the street you'd say MAYBE 32 ;)

Girls in their 20's still respond positively and I feel great about myself.

Anyway, don't get too stressed out.... and Happy Birthday!
