How do you get through your birthday?

Rebecca Rose

My birthday is coming up soon and my family are already preplanning what will happen on the day. They want to take me out shopping and then on the afternoon and evening there will be a party... I'll never understand birthdays. For me the ideal birthday would be spending the day alone in my room where I can be myself and be at peace but every year I'm dragged out and put through a miserable experience lol.

When I was a child I was invited to a girls party and that was also a terrible ordeal. I ended up having a meltdown and my mum had to come and pick me up because I couldn't cope with the noise and the amount of people present at her party. I received some mega bullying after that.

A bit like Xmas I wish I could skip my birthday Slight frown

  • Rebecca Rose, I'm with you all the way on Birthday parties, I loathe them. When I was younger, I would get up early and take myself out for the day, far away, anywhere where they couldn't find me.  One year I caught the train to Penzance and had a really nice day with nobody singing that damn dreary song they all seem to love so much. Arghhh! You know the one.

    It's your birthday, be polite, but do what you choose.

    That one birthday sounds like such a special one for you. Maybe I should do something like that this year? I've thought of locking my flat door and switching off my phone lol but I wouldn't want to be rude.

    Happy birthday *shudders* probably the worst part of any birthday. I put in ear plugs which I can hide behind my hair, it doesn't block out the sound completely but it does muffle it. It's the difference between a meltdown and feeling uncomfortable.
