This is going to be me on the 19th. Minus the cake, of course. :/

So... what are you cooking for your bday OP?

I HATE celebrating my birthday in any way, and if I lay low my gf at least wants to have dinner, go for drinks etc. I'd rather act like it isn't a special day and maybe make a good meal and leave it at that.

There isn't anything really wrong with being alone on your birthday, but making a big deal about it and being sad is lame.

Birthday blues, eh? Don't pay it no mind, OP, alone or not won't matter in the end, we all die the same.

I was alone last year, but this one, I won't! Cheer up OP. It might suck this time, but you never know what next year will bring.

>we all die the same.
it's the way you live that makes all the difference :3 so it does matter

>mfw I've never been alone on my birthday

Happy Birthday op. I too was born under the sign of Cancer.

looks like toasted cornbread

I know that feel, OP. Too well.
7 billion people on this godforsaken rock floating through space, and yet it is nearly impossible finding friends and love.
It is hard not to contemplate suicide because of the always aching heart, the loneliness, the sorrow. I know.
But still I'd urge you to look to the future; try changing the things in your life that you find unbearable. Try and try, again and again.
There's a chance you'll succeed; there's chance and possibility as long as you're breathing, as long as your heart is beating.
You have my respect, my sympathy and my support, OP. A toast to you, dear friend. Happy birthday.

It's okay, guys. You can't be happy, but you can be not-unhappy. Stop feeling anything at all. It's easy.

Of course, you'll no longer care enough to go to work in the morning most of the time, and when you run out of money, you can't get your fix, and after it's out of your system, you start caring again... :3

Fuck being sad. You should have gone all out today. Dined at a fancy restaurant or ordered a shit load of food. Just because you're alone doesn't mean you have to be so sad.

>>2931577
A shitload of food would have made them happy, you think? Oh boy...

>>2931577
>Just because you're alone doesn't mean you have to be so sad.

I think most people will disagree with you on that one.

>>2931608
bucket full of chicken drumsticks > friends

Happy birthday! :]

Happy Birthday. :3 Go out and treat yourself to somethin' extra nice.

>>2931608

Betas might disagree I suppose. I don't constantly rely on having other people around to make me feel good about myself. That's pathetic.

>>2931386
Happy birthday OP.
I know the feeling of being alone for a birthday...or 2...or 3 and it sucks. Go out and buy yourself something you've always wanted. Splurge and make yourself feel better.
If it means anything, I don't know you but if you lived close, I'd take you out and get you wasted.

>forever alone and such
>alone and such
>and such

ANGIE IS BACK

Im turning 21 in 22 days.... and i live with my parents...birthday cake forthecoming. i wouldnt mind it if i was on my own, and then came home for a party or something.. but dammit. 21 straight years of the same degrading "ooooh its your birthday". meh its better than drinking my liver to death for a day. I might appreciate it more year.

Happy Birthday! You'll be okay :3

I know that feel bro...

I know that feel..

>>2931797
Turning 21 on Aug 29th, still living at home, haven't even started a real education. I can't even fucking drink on my 21st because I'm a type one diabetic and am not allowed to drink alcohol. This isn't even going to be a happy occasion, my dad passed in march and it's going to be my first Birthday without him.

Working at gamestop, going to community college that I should have finished 2 years ago but I came down with a fucking Colon illness that forced me to undergo surgery to remove my colon.

I feel like a fucking leech and I lost all my social skills because who the fuck would want to hang out with a bag of shit hanging out of his stomach.
While the bag is gone now I still feel out of place and like a complete freak with an 8 inch scar below my stomach where they removed my colon.

I want to go into IT and hopefully get accepted into NYIT and I pretty much accepted I will be forever alone making a decent salary.

My family thinks I'm gay because I never has a girlfriend but I just don't know how to talk to people.

It's 6:30 am and Ive been up since 4 and I can't sleep.

Fuck I'm lost.with my life and i wish some people appreciate what they have while they have it.

happy birthday to you. looks like you have good taste. lemon pound cake and vanilla ice cream? I wish you well. and there is a difference between being alone and being lonely.

Distilled spirits have 0 grams of carbs / sugar.

Alcohol itself affects blood glucose levels. Makes them spike, then drop below normal ranges. (80 - 140 for me)

Plus my dad, grandfather, grandmother and a whole bunch of other family members were alcoholics. Killed my Dad.

This.

I'm a type 1 and was diagnosed at 14. There is NO reason why you can't drink. Are you on a pump? Just bolus more and keep hydrated with water.
Seriously, there's no reason why you can't drink.

I'm 23 and your story is a mirror to mine, except I don't have any control over myself, and go into DKA at least 4-5 times a year, most recently being 2 weeks ago where my bicarbs were 9 and I now have a bleeding ulcer and a torn esophagus because of the vomiting.

Cheer up.

>>2931929

Quit bitching. I'm a type 2 because of the medication I take, I've had a liver transplant so I can't drink either, and I've also had a colectomy. My dad died when I was 19.

I'm in University, have a fairly active social life, and I'm working to better myself.

Protip: It's not your life that holds you back, it's you. Quit being a fucking whiner.

>>2931937
Currently on pens, but want to move onto the omnipod pump.

My a1c isn't good either.
Last test results came back at 10.
I only went into DKA 3x in my life, but it was scary as fuck.

Hey at least the artificial pancreas is coming out in our lifetime.

>>2931938
I'm hoping university will bring out my social side.
One more year in community college and I'll find out.

I am usually an upbeat person but sometimes it gets to me.

>>2931939
I've had the minimed one for 6 years now and it's the best thing that's ever happened to me. A1C of 10? That's envious up until recently. Mine hit 14.5 at one point for a good 2 years, then I toned it the fuck down and it's 6 at the moment. I still refuse to test though. I base everything on how I feel, and I have to say I'm pretty attuned to where my BS is at.
Yea DKA is no fun, especially when your slipping in and out of a coma on your basement floor praying death would come because the pain is so bad...but I don't mean to scare you.
Are you mixing the pens? Lantus and Humalog/Novalog? Pens suck bro, and I think Minimed are god tier pump makers. Look into their CGM system.

>>2931945
I was on the minimed one a few years ago, the shitty tubing caused me to go into DKA while I slept.
Since the omnipod has no tubes I'd be willing to go back to pumps now,

Also I know exactly how you feel about testing. I know exactly how mym body feels when Im in a certain range of BG and can act accordingly. It's just I'm bad at carb counting. Penwise I use humalog and lantus, but my insurance wants me to go to levamir.

Also that feel when you wake up in the morning in DKA, breathing like crazy, your heart beating and you can barley maintain consciousness is one of the shittiest feels in the world.

You need to wake up your parents and tell them to get you to a hospital NOW. Fear on their faces they speed to the hospital where you stumble into the ER an they get you into the rom where they try to get you an IV, but you're so dehydrated you need to get an IV in your groin.
It hurts so bad and your junk is hanging out for all to see, but you don't give a shit because your fading in and out of consciousness.

Then your endo comes in and yells at you and explains the consequences and takes you off your pump until further notice.

This was all about 1 year before my colon problems.

>>2931953

I would say shit gets better...but I don't know that. It's been getting worse for me.
Look, I don't EVER do this but if you want to rant and complain about life, shoot me an email - dkasucksballs@gmail.com (it's an honest email) and I'd be happy to listen, respond and rant back to you.

I'm gonna pass out. It's 430 am here in socal.

And OP, sorry for jacking your thread :P

>>2931953
Cheer up.

No, seriously, cheer up.

I read a story on /b/ last week about a guy who lost his daughter and wife all in a month or something. It was pretty awful stuff. Things can always be worse.
