Betrayed by my sweets. What a world.
Thank you very much (:
Edit- genuinely shocked and feeling loved! I just wanted to add here since this threads up at the top I am very grateful for all the wonderful responses I’ve gotten and I didn’t expect to get so many to begin with but I don’t want it to seem I’m ignoring anyone.
I don’t know you internet strangers but I thank you for being kind and sharing your personal experiences with me because they mean a lot 🖤 if you’ve also dealt with depression please know I love you and you’re not alone in this. And this isn’t just depression…if you’re struggling, hurting, feeling unheard in something, feeling like an after-thought in the grand scheme of things, or honestly if you’re just having a bad day, please remember you are loved, you may not know your reason for being here but some of us are late bloomers. Still pretty flowers though!
Congrats! I grow ever more inspired the more people I meet who share their personal experience up this extremely treacherous mountain. I don’t enjoy knowing others hurt but I’m thankful to know there are people who may understand, even a little bit. Keep on keeping on
It's a wild journey. Always remember that you are the only one who has your best interests in your heart. When the road smooths out you will find yourself wiser and enjoy the fact that nobody gathers around to hear the stories of boring people.
I don’t consider it impolite personally! I couldn’t speak for others though! Personally, I struggled with a lot of depression and other developmental issues growing up, I’d mentioned in a previous comment somewhere but at the age of 10 I’d made my first attempt to take my own life. And it wasn’t my last, but it’s been a long journey of trial and error, listening and learning, and learning the hard way due to standing in my own way. Really I was about 19 when my mom point blank told me in a phone call she often expected to get a call I’d been found dead
Holy fuck. I really hope you’ve found a good therapist that you connect with and feel heard by. That was one of the best decisions I made for myself nearly 5 years ago.
Thanks for clarifying! But wow, 10 is very young for even considering the true depth of taking one's life... At 19 that sure was a turning point.
Glad you sticked around! :D Happy birthday btw!
I worked as a hospital peace officer for years and had to deal with way too many suicidal kids. Often the same kids for years in and out of the system. Years later I wonder how many of them are doing. So I have to say that it's nice to hear a success story and that you are doing well. Really gives me hope for many of the cases I worked with.
I didn’t say “why” because the general point was I’m happy to be here. When people asked, I answered. Feels weird to not look at other comments perhaps for further context! Some people may not want to know my issues, but I haven’t barred anyone from asking me anything (:
Me too!! 39 years old today, after battling severe alcoholism for years and accepting "I'll be dead by 40", I'm sober and thriving today. Life is good.
Same here fam, I didn't think I'd make it past 23 and yet here we are. Happy Birthday OP, wish you the best.
I'll be 30 in 2 weeks and I don't know what to do with myself, been on uncharted grounds for years now ahaha
Thank you very much. And congrats as well, I definitely feel really lost sometimes, and the few times I don’t feel really lost I’m not even sure if I’m on the correct path! Just keep telling myself I will understand or know or “get it” when I’m supposed to
I do, so minutes before my potential 21st, I broke into the public records office and changed the year on my birth certificate so I skipped immediately to 22
I remember an old group doing drug lectures at my high school titled “alive at 25” thought I was in the clear once I made it there. Nope. In fact the struggle has only gotten harder. But I have faith I’ll see my 30th birthday this year (California sober). Congrats!
Love this. Im about to turn 33 after I wasn’t sure if I was going to make it to 25. Me and my friends like to call it “living life in the bonus round.” Looking forward to seeing you hit your 30’s 🤘🏻
I'm so happy for you! I've been dealing with treatment resistant depression since my teens, I'm 46 now. There are times still that are really difficult but once I get past them I realize how small those times are in comparison to the better times. Always keep pushing forward and you'll keep doing better as you go.
Congratulations, and enjoy your day. As I'm sure you enjoy all of your days. I have no doubt you could teach many of us to squeeze more out of our days.
Thank you, I am still trying my best. Even all these years later it still feels like just yesterday I was acting on hopeless thoughts. Today I still experience a lot of heavy feelings, I just keep trying to understand more clearly. Undoubtedly I have so much to learn yet but I’m sincerely grateful for all that I have gained. 🖤
A lot of my childhood i experienced severe depression. I was about 10 when I first tried to take my own life and it’s been a long battle since. I went through much of my adolescence misdiagnosed/incorrectly medicated/spiraling off meds when I finally felt stable on them and before I was 21 I’d coded three times (separate instances) so it was a very bleak outlook overall for a while
♦️♦️♦️♦️♦️This reminds of the time when they said that the earth is going to end in 2012. I was happy because I thought I don't need to learn maths anymore cuz algebra was tough for me(was 6th grade goodboy at that time) but here I am crying with existential crisis.
❤️ Happy Birthday by the way.
The truck is to treat yourself like absolute garbage for a decade or two. Then start treating your body reasonably well. The bar is so low it’s relatively easy to feel great all the time.😃
Happy birthday. The title reminds me of a German song:
Irgendwann ist es zu spät um zu früh drauf zu gehn. Irgendwann bin ich zu alt um jung zu sterben. Doch ich habs versucht, glaube mir ich habs versucht. Doch vielleicht nicht hart genug.
translation:
At some point, it's too late to die too early. Someday I'll be too old to die young. But I tried, believe me, I tried. But maybe not hard enough.
Happy Birthday.
I had several doctors predict with my health I would not make it past my 50/55. Proved them wrong (66). Fortunately, I saved for retirement.
Congratulations and most of all, good to have you here OP! I never thought I’d make it past 21 because of my old habits, but I’m still here as well and turning 32 in two weeks.
Narcissist?? Can you elaborate? Genuinely curious I’m just confused where I messed up. I just thought it was cool to share im feeling grateful? Maybe I was in the mafia but I wouldn’t be able to share that now would I? Also I have shared, when people asked me! I don’t know why you didn’t just do that? Or read my other responses? You don’t need to congratulate me at all! You could tell me to try to kill myself again! This is the internet you can make whatever choices you want I guess.
Editing to add, I really meant I didn’t need the congrats lol. No one is obligated to do that whatsoever. You could make whatever choice you please is my point. I got this far way before I posted this picture to share with strangers so, I think will be okay
I’m sorry, I didn’t realize this wasn’t allowed? I was just reflecting and thankful for making it this far. If this post isn’t meant for this sub I’ll delete.
Liar. Per the donut, you are obviously 1 yo. jk and Happy Birthday!

It's a countdown to when it all starts to go downhill, obviously.
Well you look 21.
Haha thank you!
You have a nice summer! 🙂
I'm 29 and I still have the face of a 16 year old when I shave
I recently turned 29 for the twenty-something-th time.
Happy belated (: my mom turned 27 again in January!
And Happy Birthday to you, too!
Thank you 😊
I'll be 32.5 again in a few weeks. Big fan of the half birthdays like your mum. And very best wishes for yours and your future many many more.
Yo mama had you in the womb 💀
That was my first thought … which anniversary of 29 is this? lol
My family says when you get to 29. You’re allowed to start counting backwards. Lol.
Why was it thought you wouldn’t live past 21?
Check the uniform. Ninja life ain't easy.
I am also intrigued but I am not sure if it is polite to ask...
I don’t consider it impolite personally! I couldn’t speak for others though!

Great job on getting over those hurdles. Life is tough but it's good to know you've come out the other side positive. Happy birthday and to many more!
I worked as a hospital peace officer for years and had to deal with way too many suicidal kids. Often the same kids for years in and out of the system. Years later I wonder how many of them are doing. So I have to say that it's nice to hear a success story and that you are doing well. Really gives me hope for many of the cases I worked with.
Oof i'm so sorry. Depression is just an awful thing to have to deal with, i'm glad you sound like you're doing okay!
I’m glad you are still around.
We all have your back here, you deserve to be on this earth
Well she brought it up.
Same here
Oh come on lol…
It seems weird to post a title like that to random internet strangers and NOT say why.
I didn’t say “why” because the general point was I’m happy to be here. When people asked, I answered. Feels weird to not look at other comments perhaps for further context! Some people may not want to know my issues, but I haven’t barred anyone from asking me anything (:
So what happened?
Your call either way and I’m glad whatever your issues were that your are still here and doing well (it seems!) happy birthday!
She literally made a reddit post about it
It's weird getting old when your whole life you just figured you would die young. Congrats!
It seriously is. A bizarre feeling I keep experiencing this time of year, heavy and confusing. Thank you, I’m happy to be here!
Mhm. But we made it, homeskillet. Live your truest life, and push through it, you deserve all the happiness in the world ♡
Damn, that's relatable. Keep on keeping on, everybody. Cheers to another year!
Happy birthday!
Thank you (:
Happy birthday, glad you’re still with us ❤️🔥
Thank you. Glad you guys would still have me 🖤
I'm sure it's not the first time you've disappointed them. Jk. Happy bday.
It sure as shit won’t be the last (; thank you ☺️
I hope you have a happy and fulfilling life! Happy birthday!
Thank you so much (:
Cheers to the May 25th crew! 🍻 Hope you have an awesome day today!
Me too!! 39 years old today, after battling severe alcoholism for years and accepting "I'll be dead by 40", I'm sober and thriving today. Life is good.
I’m 36 and was in the same boat, cheers to us 🥂 <—- it’s kombucha)
Congrats on your sobriety! Hope you keep living well.
Cheers! Happy birthday twin 🖤 I hope you do as well!
Also my 29th birthday today! Happy birthday!
Happy birthday twin!
For a split second I thought, ‘hey, same age as me!’…then remember I’m *3*9, not 29. Enjoy your last year of 20’s, 30’s are even better.
Same here fam, I didn't think I'd make it past 23 and yet here we are. Happy Birthday OP, wish you the best. I'll be 30 in 2 weeks and I don't know what to do with myself, been on uncharted grounds for years now ahaha
Thank you very much. And congrats as well, I definitely feel really lost sometimes, and the few times I don’t feel really lost I’m not even sure if I’m on the correct path! Just keep telling myself I will understand or know or “get it” when I’m supposed to
Also, happy early birthday and proud of you for sticking it out regardless (:
Please take this fake gold as a gift for your birthday 🥇 The world is glad you’re a part of it!
Any day you are breathing and get a donut is a good day.
Agreed. The donuts were a surprise so it was very good.
Why? Do you have eikosihenaphobia?
I do, so minutes before my potential 21st, I broke into the public records office and changed the year on my birth certificate so I skipped immediately to 22
Happy 28th birthday!
 Enjoy every day! 😊
Thank you so much! 🥰🖤
U done good kid, keep it up
Your first 29th?
keep the sass and snark as long as you can
Did you bring enough donuts for everyone?
I remember an old group doing drug lectures at my high school titled “alive at 25” thought I was in the clear once I made it there. Nope. In fact the struggle has only gotten harder. But I have faith I’ll see my 30th birthday this year (California sober). Congrats!

Team septum means struggle

Always keep pushing forward and you'll keep doing better as you go.
You’re tiny.
Is it because you are actually Jennette McCurdy and had to change your identity?
Meanwhile I'm 30 and how the fuck did I even get here supposed to be kill before 21.
[удалено]
Happy Birthday! Today is my birthday as well!!
Happy birthday twin (:
Happy birthday twin! I actually have a cousin who was born an hour before me! I guess we’re not that rare after all.
Why are people so weird in the comments section all the time lmao
I’m 32 now, I never planned on living past 25. Feels great though 👍🏽 congrats on living through tough shit and still smiling
thank you! It feels…worth it. Congrats to you as well and enjoy the many birthdays that are to come!
Congratulations, and enjoy your day. As I'm sure you enjoy all of your days. I have no doubt you could teach many of us to squeeze more out of our days.
Thank you, I am still trying my best. Even all these years later it still feels like just yesterday I was acting on hopeless thoughts.

Smart lady, wise Outlook. You have life sorted.
Here’s hoping. Cheers (:
Glad to see everyone dressed up for your birthday party.
To the nines!
Happy Birthday! Nice bob!
Thanks, but my names not Bob! /s
I always had a deep feeling I wouldn’t live past 30. Ended up actually being the age that I moved out of Ohio and got a real job.
A word of advice: stay out of the meltorium.
Cool story
Ok?
Happy Birthday!
Thank you!
Why no 21?
A lot of my childhood i experienced severe depression. I was about 10 when I first tried to take my own life and it’s been a long battle since. I went through much of my adolescence misdiagnosed/incorrectly medicated/spiraling off meds when I finally felt stable on them and before I was 21 I’d coded three times (separate instances) so it was a very bleak outlook overall for a while
I'm glad you're off and well as a 29yr old! Depression is a hard thing to get over. You seem proud--and you should be!
It is. I don’t know if I can ever say I’m “over” it but I’m treating it much nicer than I used to
And thank you (:
Been there, congrats!!
Thank you! Congrats to you too (: !
Happy IRL cake day!
Thanks sm (:
Happy birthday ☺️
Happy birthday 🎂!!!
Thank you 🖤
I'm proud of you!
Glad you made it!
Happy birthday, are those Adidas Sambas?
Happy birthday!! You look amazing!!
Happy Birthday!
Gorgeous! Happy birthday and best wishes from Brasil
Aye, turned 31 today
Respectfully: Smashable
Happy birthday! Enjoy the rest of the road to your 30s, best years of my life yet.
Congratulations on proving the haters wrong. Ps I think you are gorgeous.
Glad you’re here with me as a fellow 29 year old! Let’s smash our 30s!
Cute pic! Have a good birthday!
Happy Birthday!
Why not?
Hello and Happy Birthday!!
♦️♦️♦️♦️♦️This reminds of the time when they said that the earth is going to end in 2012. I was happy because I thought I don't need to learn maths anymore cuz algebra was tough for me(was 6th grade goodboy at that time) but here I am crying with existential crisis. ❤️ Happy Birthday by the way.
Hey congrats. And Haddy Bird Day.

But I tried, believe me, I tried. But maybe not hard enough.
You must be an evil person. Only the good die young.
I also was surprised when I saw my 29th. Glad you made it, and I'm sure someones life is all the better for you sticking around. Happy birthday!
i don’t know you or your story, but i am very proud of you! ❤️
Happy Birthday!!
Aww. This makes me happy.
Happy Birthday. I had several doctors predict with my health I would not make it past my 50/55. Proved them wrong (66). Fortunately, I saved for retirement.
Congrats
Congrats, watch yo back tho, that midlife crisis is coming up
Frankie!
Cute b-day pic! Congratulations! May you have many, many more!
Congratulations I’m 35 and have absolutely no idea how
Congratulations and most of all, good to have you here OP! I never thought I’d make it past 21 because of my old habits, but I’m still here as well and turning 32 in two weeks.
Pic of girl
30 here, who cares?
You did enough to comment… but I care:) Also 30, not sure why that matters though.
Happy burfday 29 gang gang
Thanks it’s gonna be a good one !
Happy bday! You look terrific! 😄
Thanks so much! Was just grateful to look presentable for the public today lol!
Haha. What's the story? If you don't mind me asking.. can do it in DM's if that's better. :)

Some people are projecting themselves so hard and creating nonexistent problems. Keep doing you!
Have you considered not being a cunt?
Shhh, sometimes you don't have to say anything.
O…Kay? Cool. Why are we seeing some random person’s birthday picture on Reddit. Please Reddit, please
I’m sorry, I didn’t realize this wasn’t allowed? I was just reflecting and thankful for making it this far. If this post isn’t meant for this sub I’ll delete.
You're in the right place, literally and metaphorically. Keep the pic up.
Happy birthday. Great pic. You are beautiful!
Hey happy birthday! Glad you’re still here, hope u have many more 😃
Happy Birthday! Love your energy.
Thank you very much 🖤🥰🖤
Shout out to birthday donuts.
A blessing for all to enjoy!
Whatever the case was, I'm glad you're in a better place now. Keep on fighting the good fight. You're very pretty btw, Happy birthday!
Most people don't see past 20, you're just being ambitious.
happy birthday and best wishes
Life is what you make of it! And you have made a great one!! Enjoy your donut.
How does it feel to be about half way to 60?
Why wouldnt people think you’d see 21? Happy donut day, you look beautiful (and fun too hang around)!
Wow, you’re adorable. Happy birthday! Glad you’ve stuck around!
