[Soda Bobinski]

after i turned 20 i have become depressed at every birthday afterword..
why do i do that??
Any idea why
I feel so bad that i am 26 it gets herder every year
Why??. 🙁

Hey , man ... try not to sweat it. Most everyone goes through their little bouts w/being depressed every now & then.


Take me , for instance :

Whenever I'm just minding my own business at the airport ...

Whenever I'm playing tennis w/Billie Jean King ...

Whenever I'm out riding my motorcycle w/my bud ...

Whenever I'm chillin' at the beach w/my girl ...

Whenever I'm out bowling w/my friends ...

... I get emotionally smashed because I always seem to find myself face-to-face w/these particular billboards or ads that I find to be very offensive to me. Maybe you've seen some of them ... "So easy a TKLMAN can do it."


So , yeah ... I might not be helping much by saying this , but just know that you're not alone. At least try & take comfort in the fact that other people are miserable right along w/you. 😀

Hmm, maybe because another year has gone by and you haven't found the perfect pair of feet to tickle/worship yet? Unless you already have someone in which case you can ignore the previous comment lol.

thank you!!
good try!

i was cool with birthdays until 25. at 25, i started worrying about all the things i don't have but should, haven't accomplished but should, etc. i know it's a stupid way to look at it. 25 is young. and alot of the benchmarking i do is off my friends, who at the same time might not be employed or have plenty of other issues.

That said, I turn 26 next month and I'm worried that anxiety will only increase. Closer to 30 than 20. So i can definitely relate. just have to try to ignore the number and live one day at a time in a way that makes you happy i guess..

that is exly how i feel now!!

It sounds like you have too much time to think about your age. Try to enjoy life a bit more. Do more of the things you like. Take up another hobby and go out on Friday and Saturday nights. I'm 37 and rarely even think about my age because I partake in activities that make me feel younger... and it's not because I have a ton of friends because I don't. My life kind of sucks because I live 100 miles away from where I work so I spend most of my day working and commuting. It's dark when I leave my house and dark when I get home. Sometimes, it's a drag, but when I have days off, I make the most of them.

I do try but it has not worked so fare 🙁

If you are really depressed you should go to some type of counseling, especially if you have never went before. That's what life is all about highs and lows. I was so unhappy I even ended up getting a psychology degree because of my state of mind.

I typically don't even realize it's my birthday until someone calls to tell me. I haven't really cared about them since I was a little kid.

This.
If you want to congratulate somebody, congratulate my mom.

In the last few years I've noticed lots of people I know have birthday parties thrown by their friends, and I realized nobody has thrown me a party since I was 6. That's what depresses me.

Was kinda the same with me. It wasn't until I turned 25 that I was even taken out to do anything for my birthday.

But at the same time, I was never the most social person. I've just managed to get a bit better at it at this point.

Not that it means much. 'Cause if I wanted to get more than a couple people at the most to do anything with, I'd have to go way out of my way to do it.

Yea don't get depressed, invite your best friends, ask them to bring another one of their friends, buy some food and booze. Have a good time.

When my birthday comes up I usually don't care, as long as I have a good time with friends or family.

I have noticed I make a lot less parties than I used to, probably because a lot of my friends are not in town most of the time but I always invite the ones that are near me ^^

I remember when I was 21 I was like I am soooo gonna drink! Sure I got a bit wasted that day but when I was 22 I really didn't mind not drinking/getting wasted.

But both times, I had friends who were there with me 🙂

When your a kid you get presents, when your 16 you can drive, when your 21 you can drink. (at least in the states) All your life until age 22 most people look forward to birthdays. After 22 the the excitement is gone and maybe you feel like your just getting one year older. Maybe this is why people get trashed and/or have birthday sex!! 🙂
