Have you ever heard of the 'Birthday Blues'? (1 Viewer)

[Day]

I heard about this recently on a TV show

My birthday is in about a week and hearing about this really opened up my mind because it's something I struggle with every year but I wasn't aware of it being a thing. I think it always helps to have these moments of "oh, so it's not just me" because it makes you feel a little less alone in a world where you're trapped with your own thoughts all the time.
Does anyone else experience this?​

i felt that sometimes because my birth month is usually the most stressful time of the year for me.

I may not have gotten so depressed on a birthday. However, to me the ages that hurt the most are those that end in that rightmost zero. Ten and twenty were not a problem; but 30, 40, and 50 were. The next one is 60 which will happen next year.

Forget that number in your passport. 50 and 60 year old rock fans don't stan Passcode and aren't interested in Japanese Youth Culture (at least not in my country)! I'm over 40, but I feel like in my late 20s (to be honest, I didn't feel that healthy, fit and alive in my late 20s).

The age you feel means more than your actual birthdate

Most people feel younger or older than they really are – and this 'subjective age' has a big effect on their physical and mental health.

It seems it is not so in my country as well. I don't feel old anyway. I have too many plans for the future to waste it on retirement.

Every year since I turned 20 and it's gotten worse.
I don't enjoy my birthday and I hate getting the phone calls of people wishing me happy birthday. It's just a constant reminder of another year going by and feeling like I'm going nowhere compared to everyone else who is getting married and sending more and more invites.

only older people (like me) can relate to this, having a birthday isn't always a good thing for us..

Yes I have and I’ve been feeling this way ever since weeks before I turned 21 this year. I always thought that being an adult was gonna be easier than being in your childhood/teenagehood but eh now idk
