DAE feel weird and sad on their birthday every year?

I turned 26 today and had a nice day spent with family. It was a gorgeous day, my grandparents took me out to a nice dinner, and a good amount of people reached out to wish me a happy birthday.

But every year, no matter the circumstance, I feel weird and sad by the end of my birthday and end up ruminating. Does anyone else share this experience?

EDIT: It’s not my birthday anymore but I’ve genuinely been touched by all of these perspectives and am feeling much less alone in the weirdness today.

Just wanna express my appreciation for verbally generous strangers and the weird and wonderful world of Reddit that enables us to have candid dialogue for the sake of it :’)
