Today is my birthday. For the first time a birthday has me bummed out. What good suggestions do you have?

to make me feel better?
Answer:
I was bummed on my birthday this year, too. I had just gone through a breakup, and the last thing I wanted to do was celebrate. Here's what I did: I spent time with just a few close friends who care about me. We went out for dinner, watched a funny movie, and talked. Later, when I was by myself, I thought about the fun I'd had and the things I'd accomplished in the previous year. And finally, I wrote down a few goals and things to look forward to this year. Having one bad year, season in life, or birthday doesn't spell doom. Things will look up. Hang in there. And if this birthday isn't the best, it only means that down the road there will be ones that are better.
Ice cream and a good movie always works for me.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY! It's better than the alternative...as my Dad always said.

...how old are you?..I may have a real serious answer for you
try hanging out with older people and maybe it will make you feel younger
None. Unless you like to drink! j/k You'll get over it in a couple of days, you have no choice right
happy Bday!
go sky diving it's so fun
reflect on the past year and think about the things that made you grow and change in positive ways...
then eat a gallon of ice cream!
Get over yourself, it's not all about you. What did you do for someone else today? How are you sacrificing of self for others? Do you give more than you take? Do you know your Lord? Are you in a good Bible-believing church?

Lord bless!
Well I first have to wonder which birthday you're celebrating. If it's your 21st, we have trouble! If it's your 30th, just remember wherever you are in your life, you have lots of time to either enjoy it, or fix it...Now 39 was hard for me! Depressing! Not only was I in my last year of my 30's, I was about to become a grandmother for the first time. Talk about shock. I truly suffered a mid-life crisis. None of my 40th birthdays caused an unusual amount of depression...just the normal, oh god, I'm getting up there... Now my last birthday, my 50th, I tell you it was downright exciting. I made it! Yeah! Not everyone can do that! I can't pinpoint it, but for some reason I feel free, liberated. Like I said, I don't know why I felt this way. I guess you just need to remember the older you get, the longer you've lived and just thank God for each and every day!
