Oh gosh, my birthday is in a few days. I am stressed out of my mind. I just need to vent for a little bit to help calm me. I know I have posted about this before, but now it is actually happening!
I have two visits to get through. One with my family and one with a friend. I know the friend has got me a special present which I am very nervous about. I don't know what the present will be. I hope it's not something "touching" that will make me cry when I open it.
I just want to cope and get through it all. The bonus for me is that the visits are scheduled for the day after my birthday, not the actual day which for me is great because by then I am expecting the heightened anxiety I normally feel on my actual birthday to have died down. For me, that is the best I could have hoped for. On my actual birthday day I am so badly worked up that I feel on the verge of tears or a panic attack the whole day.
I am sick of feeling this way every year 
other people feel excited about their birthdays but for me, birthdays are absolutely awful.

Then, nobody would show up at my parties. It was horrible. I would rather have just started out with nobody showing up instead of getting used to people showing up then nothing. You can't miss what you never had.
