birthday

My birthday is today (April 14th) and I turned 28 years old. I feel awful about myself and not looking forward to my birthday or anything in life. Everyday I'm dealing with anxiety, depression, and suicide ideations and it seems impossible for me to continue with life.

Today's my 34th #Birthday , and it's the first birthday where I have hope for getting a firm diagnosis & treatments that work. My current health makes it difficult to #celebrate in big or usual ways, so I am trying to make today feel special in my own way. My husband has gotten me flowers and gotten a cake that fits my strict diet (#IrritableBowelSyndromeIBS ) I would love to hear other people's ways of celebrating themselves in small ways. This is also a hard birthday for a number of reasons, so I really appreciate this community.

I've been a contributor to The Mighty for over 6 years and had over 40 articles published. To say thank you to my followers and readers, I'd like to give you an opportunity to have a gift from me.

July is my birthday month, and I’m very excited to announce I’m running a competition on my podcast and my blog to give away a copy of my book:

All you need to do is listen to a podcast episode, or read a blog post,and leave a review or comment.

There will be three episodes/posts throughout July, each giving an opportunity for you to enter the competition.

Hi everyone. I emailed the receptionist for the genetics department & she told me that she has a June 21st appointment open. Granted I work that day but the significance of that day is it's my birthday. It will be both weird & awesome at the same time. Let me ask the audience: Have you ever had an appointment that just happened to be on your Birthday? Tell me in the comments below.

P.S I hope I didn't steal any mighty leaders thunder with that question.

I have been blessed with the greatest mother in the world.

Hope you enjoy my latest blog post and are as blessed as I am:
