I guess I've hit the age where birthdays have become depressing.  email this discussion to a friend?

myLot reputation of 97/100. katsmeow1213 (7758)   ranked 126 out of 32,950 in life 2 years ago

I'm not even sure if I'm depressed because of the age I'm turning, or if I'm depressed because I know I'm not getting any gifts of any sort. I haven't even gotten a card for my birthday since my foster mom died.

Well tomorrow is the big day... the 9th anniversary of my 21st birthday. I'm so depressed I feel like I could cry!!

How do you feel when your birthday is coming? Depressed? Excited? Nothing at all?

Hi Katsmeow,

You should celebrate. Enjoy your birthday. Enjoy life. 21 is not that old. Its still young. I am not worried when i turned 29 last March. For me, age really doesn't matter. Its how you enjoy and value life matters. So i suggest to just have fun with your birthday. Say thank you for all the blessings that comes in to you life and you still reach the age of 21.

I'm turning 30.. not 21.

Yes you are not a teenager already but is it a problem.You should be happy of the fact that you ARE not a mature parson who can take care alone of himself.This is the perfect age for a man to make a family also so if you don't have one this is something else you can strive to.

Hey you're only 29 (I guess 30 tomorrow)! I'm 55 and don't encourage birthday cards or presents partly because my kids shouldn't feel the need to afford them partly because it's a green thing to do. Don't be down katsmeow treat yourself if one else will. Happy Birthday tomorrow mylotters want you and your opnions.thumbup

cheeringHappy birthday to you, happy birthday to you,

Happy birthday DEAR KATSMEOW, Happy Birthday to youcheering!!!!

I am sorry you are feeling so sad. But at least I could sing that song to you.

I am 64 and much lot older than you (and don't you dare say what does that old fart know)! It is hard when you have a birthday and no one seems to recognize you.

Sometimes I celebrate my new year and sometimes I don't. I am just happy to be around. But if you are depressed big time, please do not stay home by yourself, OK?

Go see a funny movie or do something you have never done before...ice skate, pin ball machine...up to you!

And if it gets real tough, PM me. My old shoulders are always available for

a tear or so.


myLot reputation of 97/100. katsmeow1213 (7758)   ranked 126 out of 32,950 in life  2 years ago

Thanks.. I hope the depression goes away on Thursday.. but it probably won't, because my first child is turning 13!!


myLot reputation of 99/100. richnai (5180)  2 years ago

For your kids sake I hope so too. and now it is happy birthday for you!

@katsmeow - don't get yourself depressed as it will only lead to tears and heartache. Smile and see your kids tomorrow raising their own kids. Just like richnai, I'm older than you and I look forward to being 75 or more but with a healthy heart and mind and can still mingle with my kids' kids. Cheers man.

Happy Early 21st Birthday Katsmeow1213!!

Sweety turning 21 should not be a depressing thing but a wonderful thing! You are young girl! It is true as you get older the gifts stop coming but it's not about gifts, yes they are nice and we all LOVE them =) but it's a celebration of being a live and well. It's about living life!! When I hit 21 yrs old i was so happy to go to a few bars and just order one drink! It was nice to show them my id and say "yup i'm legal now"!!!

Enjoy your day sweety. Life isn't easy and we all go through trials and tribulations but it makes us stronger and wiser as we get older. It makes us who we are!! I say go out and have a good time! Blast the music in the house and jump on your bed screaming i'm legal now!! Lol. Your birthday is what YOU make it, not anyone else. Be happy kitty kat. You are fortunate to be alive and live to see another birthday and please girlfriend 21 is YOUNG!! Now your legal to get into any club you want!!! Have a wonderful birthday!!! Xo


myLot reputation of 97/100. katsmeow1213 (7758)   ranked 126 out of 32,950 in life  2 years ago

I'm 30.. not 21. I said 9th anniversary of 21st birthday...

Guess I shouldn't have said that because now a lot of people are confused.

Hi, so sorry with you. Actually i have less feelings on that auspicious day. I consider it as an usual day coz as i live in a village and belong to a lower middle cast family, we were not taught to celebrate with huge arrangement. Thats why our excitement was limited even still now.
HAPPY B'DAY IN ADVANCE. take care.

When I was a kid, I couldn't wait to be 16, then I wanted to be 21. At 21 I was turned down when I tried to buy furniture on time (I was so mad because I Was 21!) Then 30 seemed old, but 40 was worse because at 20 I Knew I'd have it made by 40, ( I didn't!)40 was terrible because I thought my life was almost over! 50 was just so, so, but was happy that I could still walk without a cane. Then 60 came along and I was waiting for 65 to collect the old-age pension. The pension was nice and I was able to save some of it. 70 came along, and I was surprised that I still felt well enough to keep working. At 75 I began to brag about my age! Still working and feeling well, no crutches yet! almost 77 now, and no wheelchair in sight. Still looking after 400 colonies of honeybees. Hope for a big honey crop this season. Will spend the winter in my Mobile in South Texas eating Grapefruit off my own trees! What a Life!


myLot reputation of 97/100. katsmeow1213 (7758)   ranked 126 out of 32,950 in life  2 years ago

Well congrats. I think it's just reality is hitting me.. I'm not really a kid anymore... my 20's are gone and will never come back. It's a little scary.

It can be difficult, especially if that one person who made you feel special is no longer around. I have been feeling down for a week or so, realizing I am aging. However, I know that I just need to take better care of myself. I also know that just this year I realized I have slipped from being middle aged to over the hill. Do go be with people who will lift you up. You are the age of my youngest child.

Hi Katsmeow-- Happy birthday to you!
Life is NOT easy for any of us. But what of that? We must have preseverance and above all confidence in ourselves. We must believe that we are gifted for something, and that this thing, at whatever cost, must be attained- Marie Curie

Everything that comes into our life should either stay with us and become our strength or leave us nad make us free. It shouldn't stay with us and become our weakness.

Life is an opportunity, benefit from it.
Life is a beauty, admire it!
Life is Bliss, taste it!
Life is dream, realise it!
Life is a challenge, meet it!
Life is a duty, complete it!
Life is a game, play it!
Life is a promise, fulfill it!
Life is sorrow, overcome it!
Life is a song, sing it!
Life is a struggle, accept it!
Life is a tragedy, confront it!
Life is an adventure, dare it!
Life is luck, make it!
Life is too precious. don't destroy it!
Life is life, fight for it! .. . . Mother Teresa.
