Why I hate the 14th šŸ˜•

TW// Mentions of abuse, suicide

So tomorrow is my birthday and itā€™s the worst day of my life, Iā€™ve never likes birthdays and on my 3rd birthday I was taken into care and removed from my birthparents but for you guys your probably thinking well thatā€™s in the past and that I was only 3 when it happened but the 3 articles online about my birth parents are about me going into care on the 14/09/09 so thatā€™s one reason why I hate it.

The second reason is because a few years ago I lost a friend to suicide on my birthday, she did what she did in the early hours and all I did was wonder if she was okay the whole day which Iā€™m not even mad about that or upset that it ā€œruinedā€ my birthday, I just never want to relive that day ever again

Sorryā€¦
Want to hurt meā€¦ go ahead
Wish to bully meā€¦Iā€™m used to it
Want to talk crap about meā€¦go on then
Want to make me cryā€¦feel free

    First of all I hope you're doing okay today @Rose113 - and we are all here for you and you have nothing you need to say sorry for

    It's perfectly okay to not enjoy your birthday, and given the events you have said have happened on that date, I can totally understand why it isn't the most enjoyable of days for you.

    My only bit of advice is to try and spend the day tomorrow how you want to. if you feel up to it, maybe try and find things to do that make you happy or you enjoy, however big or small they may be. I know it may be hard especially if you're being reminded of it all with 'happy birthday' messages and all that, but ultimately its your choice how you go about the day...... whether you choose to do anything, find a distraction, or even just treat it like a normal day

    whatever you decide is okay and we'll all be here as always to support you however we can - i believe you'd got the strength to get through it and be okay <3

    Sending hugs
    Sinead :3

    Hey @Rose113. I do wish to say happy belated birthday but I can appreciate it is not the most pleasant of days for you, especially with everything you have been through.

    Did you manage to take care of yourself yesterday or do anything nice (even if it was just to get through the day, rather than to celebrate)? We are all here with you.

    I am wondering, would you like to share more with us about how you are doing today, after having a difficult day yesterday?

    You can share as much or as little as you feel comfortable with but we really care about you <3
