by the way, madonna is 50 =)
If you are seriously depressed, you should see your doctor. Your birthday might have something to do with it, but I bet there are other things that need to be addressed if you are clinically depressed (which, as I'm sure you know, can be really dangerous).
That said, if you're just lamenting your age, try not to think of it as being a bad thing. I know a lot of people about your age who are very smart and vibrant and happy people, and if anything their age has allowed them to gain wisdom and experience. Just because you have reached a certain number does not mean that you have to suffer... think of all the awesome stuff you can do/have experienced.
Oh, and happy (early) birthday! (I hope that helps. If it does not, I am sorry.)
Why? Age is just a number.
50 not bad ya still young.......get over it ...get depressed at sixty instad..buy that time you want care about all that any ....
Why? Come on, 50 is just a number. I'll never understand why people care or have fits over birthday numbers. 21, 25, 30, 35....ewww the big 40 then 45 now 50? What the heck. Have a big party, invite all your friends and have a great time. Be proud of what and who you are. Don't waste a moment being depressed...that just wasting time and energy. My Gram is 91 and she is still living on her own & doing her own thing! Heck, she is even going to school to learn how to use computers!! HAPPY BIRTHDAY & BEST WISHES!!!
Really ???????? I did that years ago,,, it was fun and now I'm not leaving,,I double down and looking for 100,,,,,,,If I were you I'd be depressed at how much time you stay on answers ,,,,do you ever get away from it,,,,,,,,very depressing look at the points just this week......OMG
I'm sorry...but why are you so depressed? I'm almost 48 and can't wait for 50, cuz i've loved my 40's so much! Cheer up,....50 is the new 30, or so i've heard
I'm sorry that you're sad, but 50 is not old. I know that at every birthday (30,40,50,60,70...) some people get extremely depressed. When you think about it, though, how different are you on your birthday than you were the day before? It's only a number--and age is how you feel, act, think, etc.--the number means nothing.
Happy Birthday--really, make it a celebration :)
