Happy birthday to you! I'm single and also living with my parents, but it's not that bad. One can be happy whether one is in a relationship or not.

It's been many years for me. My work (unemployed) and my personal life are a joke. I can't be happy like this and apparently I am unable so far to change anything.

Living back home is like being in an insane asylum. I couldn't wait to get the f*ck out and go to college. I made sure my college was far enough from home so I would not have to live there....all the yelling etc.......Now I'm back! I must be mad?! WTF!

I also had the same thought too. I made sure my college was in another town so that I could escape from home. But after living out there for 4 years, I realize how much better home is compared to the outside world. I guess there is no place like home. People come and go all the time, even some friends, but family is always there for you (and by family, I mean my parents).

My family is great but living with them is not! I'm developing PTSD from listening to all the yelling...........Anway, I want to live on my own.................

A plan?.......My depression causes me to lose track of time. When I finally snap out of it, or at least wake up a bit, I realized how many years I've lost..........
I'm trying.......and, I have made some monumental efforts in the past..........I hope I have the energy to continue. My life is pretty unsalvageable but maybe a miracle will happen? Maybe?...........

Time to lather myself up with my bodywash! lol I don't want to be here when they get back and have to listen to the obligatory "Happy Birthday". Happy Go F' myself.

I hope my car starts. (er...errr....errr.....errrr.......Screech!)

Happy Birthday! Mine was worse....I promise. I'm not trying to compete, just saying that since happiness is relative, I'm a good person to compare yourself to. :)

Happy birthday and I hope you try to do something positive with the day, maybe see old friends?

But I do know what you're feeling like - my past two birthdays (25 last year and 26 this year) were the most irrelevant birthday's I've ever had. Birthday's are just becoming a number to me, moreso when you don't have anyone to celebrate with or to enjoy the day in anyway. I'll be lucky if I got presents - best I could do for my 26th was to increase waist size with a cheeseburger!

Families, as much as you love them, can become claustrophobic to me sometimes. I didn't leave when I went to University but am now trying to find a job further from home so I can feel free in someway.

Happy returns of the day! :)

They got here before I could leave. But, had the sense not to wish me a Happy Birthday (aside from the scribbled note with the body wash). Even they know there is nothing happy about today!

They had somewhere to go and just left. So, at least I have the house to myself for a couple of hours. Thank God!

Thanks for the kind words everyone. Today will be over soon enough. Then, there's only New Years Eve as a reminder of my miserable life.

Happy birthday friend. also Don't put too much pressure on yourself just because society opress each other to celebrate it. It's just a day, that is going to go by, I learned to deal with this. because I already accepted that I'm getting nothing on that day. got nothing to change it, learned to live with it.

Happy Birthday. I know you're probably sick of people telling you that, I know I was on mine. Here's to hoping that this day ends on a good note for you.

happy birthday! :)

the funny thing is when people say that to me, which they rarely if ever do, i kinda wish it would be a 'happy' day. i can relate to a lot of your posts here. my birthday will be on friday, and i know no one in my household will remember it, but if they do i won't get any gifts. although if my family were to all have a day out and leave me alone at home, that would be a pretty good gift. :)

i wish i could leave home too. but i'm just such a mental and emotional mess. i agree with you when you say birthdays just remind us of getting a year older but without any significant change for the better. so i don't think i'll be doing much else on my bd, other than what i usually get up to - which isn't much anyway.

ah the joys of having SAD :p

I guess I'm not the only one that feels like crap on my birthday. Maybe instead of Happy Birthday, it should be Happy Misfit Day. And on that day, you and all of the Misfits around the world celebrate your, uh....errrrr....Awesome level of Misfit-ness?

Happy Misfit Day to me! I like it!

I have come to dislike my birthday, too. I feel your pain.

I still hope your day was alright.

I hate my birthday, I hate people saying happy birthday to me, and I cannot stand it when people sing 'Happy Birthday to you'. Ugh.
