Do you feel comfortable opening up more about what you find difficult about your birthday?
You also mentioned you're not sure how you're going to cope and I wanted to share Papyrus' safety plan template you can complete online which you may find helpful to do ahead of next week with your birthday in mind. There's some useful questions about how to make your environment safer, support services to reach out to, personal strengths to help you when things are feeling difficult and lots more.
I also wanted to share some organisations you can reach out to if you're struggling to stay safe next week. Remember they are always just a call or text away, and you're not alone
The Mix also have a messaging service and a crisis line if you feel you're struggling to follow the safety plan - please reach out, you don't have to face this alone!
