Birthday blues

I'll never be reconciled with my family but birthdays are always about families so I feel sad. A reminder of what I've never had

Have a happy and lovely birthday ineedamum.
Spoil yourself with anything you fancy.
And try to forget the past or you re-live it and it spoils today.

Sorry to hear this indeed.

What about a lovely film and a box of indulgent chocolates.

Some of your favourite music on Spotify and a glass of something indulgent to drink.

A relaxing bath with lovely bath oil and an aromatherapy candle.

A Zoom call with a trusted friend.

I think it’s a great idea to plan in advance and then you can look forward to it. I hope it’s lovely ???

Thank you x

Not sure when the big birthday is, but hope it’s happy. You can make it so because you have made it through a difficult childhood. You are not alone, it’s hard I know. Spoil yourself with things you like and maybe get together with a friend to celebrate a special day. Happy birthday.

Just do whatever takes your fancy, and 'Happy Birthday'; just to get you started.

Im sorry this has happened to you ineedamum.

It might cheer you up and make the day special if you have lots of nice things delivered to you on the day?
Perhaps some flowers, a special piece of jewellery or scent?
Maybe a nice leather bound book to keep as a diary?
Something luxurious that you wouldn't normally consider.

As you say this is a special birthday so plan something for a later date, and take pleasure in the planning.

Happy birthday and best wishes

You haven't said when your birthday is so, whenever the date, I wish you the happiest day possible.
I always cheer myself up with cake and sweets and, if you do go for a walk, remember to smile at anyone passing by and wish them good morning. People near my home always speak to each other in passing and it does make you feel included

Thank you. I love the idea of having something special delivered, I'm not used to putting myself first so that will be great. X

Treat yourself to something nice something you really would like and spoil yourself!
