Monday Mini: The Birthday Blues · Stuff Mom Never Told You

0:05
Speaker 1: Hey, this is Anny and Samantha, and welcome to stuff
0:07
Speaker 1: I've never told you production by heart to you, and.
0:18
Speaker 2: Welcome to another Monday mini where I look up things
0:22
Speaker 2: that are wrong with me. You're welcome. Essentially, if you've
0:26
Speaker 2: been around for a while listening for a minute, you
0:28
Speaker 2: probably already know. When it comes to birthdays, Annie and
0:31
Speaker 2: I have a hard time, especially with the celebrations in general.
0:35
Speaker 2: Of course, her and my reasons vary, but I did
0:40
Speaker 2: wonder if this could be something that is pretty common. Yes,
0:42
Speaker 2: my birthday is coming up soon. We just passed Annie's birthday.
0:46
Speaker 2: This is like birthday season because our super producer Maya's
0:49
Speaker 2: birthdays are up to so so many things are happening. Then,
0:53
Speaker 2: all my partner's family's birthdays is around this corner too,
0:57
Speaker 2: and my mom. Man, there's so many birthdays. The most
1:01
Speaker 2: common birthday someone noted with September ninth.
1:06
Speaker 3: My older brother's birthday is September ninth.
1:08
Speaker 2: So yeah, September ninth is the most common birthday, which
1:11
Speaker 2: sounds about right. I'm pretty sure this is all like
1:12
Speaker 2: the New Year celebration for everybody. Awkward and with all that, yes,
1:17
Speaker 2: it is actually pretty common. This occurrence of not wanting
1:20
Speaker 2: to celebrate birthdays or being sad. In fact, it gets
1:22
Speaker 2: its own title as they call it birthday depression, surprise,
1:28
Speaker 2: or the birthday blues, which sounds better to me. It
1:31
Speaker 2: is not a DSM five diagnosis, so don't think that,
1:35
Speaker 2: but it is common enough that people have kind of
1:37
Speaker 2: like classified this and have written a lot about it.
1:40
Speaker 2: So here's a bit from verywellmined dot com quote. Birthday
1:44
Speaker 2: depression or the birthday blues refers to feeling sad, apathetic,
1:48
Speaker 2: or disinterested in celebrating or thinking about your birthday. In
1:51
Speaker 2: addition to experiencing sadness, birthday depression can also include a
1:55
Speaker 2: sense of low energy or focusing on the past, including
1:58
Speaker 2: everything you may or may not have accomplished so far.
2:01
Speaker 2: These feelings may arise in the days leading up to
2:03
Speaker 2: a person's birthday, on the actual day, and for some
2:06
Speaker 2: time after as well, so it never ends. Just kidding, So,
2:11
Speaker 2: of course, there are several reasons why this occurs. Of course,
2:15
Speaker 2: depression and anxiety just in general can be it in itself,
2:19
Speaker 2: but also it can be related to family stuff well
2:22
Speaker 2: or childhood trauma. I think we all know this, but
2:25
Speaker 2: here are some symptoms just in case you needed some,
2:27
Speaker 2: and they are very specific, again from very well mined
2:30
Speaker 2: dot com. Symptoms include a change in your mood that
2:33
Speaker 2: persists and lasts for several days surrounding your birthday. Feeling
2:37
Speaker 2: more low down or sad than usual, crying more often
2:41
Speaker 2: than usual, ruminating on the past and goals that accomplished again,
2:44
Speaker 2: stressed about how much time you have left to live,
2:47
Speaker 2: not having much energy or motivation to do things, lack
2:51
Speaker 2: of interest in doing what you typically enjoy, changes in sleep,
2:53
Speaker 2: changes is an appetite, difficulty focusing on or concentrating physical
2:57
Speaker 2: aids or pains. Maybe that's what's wrong with me. I've
3:00
Speaker 2: been in a lot of pain. Little wanting to avoid
3:02
Speaker 2: the actual day of your birth and disinterest in celebrating
3:06
Speaker 2: your birthday, rejecting or refusing plans, desire to isolate yourself. Yes,
3:13
Speaker 2: and I found this quote from a Refinering twenty nine
3:16
Speaker 2: article that's honestly really relatable. Says. While there hasn't been
3:21
Speaker 2: much research into birthday depressions, specifically anecdotally, the birthday blues
3:26
Speaker 2: are becoming a common feeling that people experience each year.
3:29
Speaker 2: Ella thirty tells us about her own birthday depression. She says.
3:33
Speaker 2: Social media really affects me. I see people making birthday
3:36
Speaker 2: post claiming it's their birthday week, people who are spoilt
3:39
Speaker 2: all week by their friends and family. I get depressed
3:42
Speaker 2: because I don't get that, she shares. But when I
3:44
Speaker 2: do get spoiled, I feel like I don't deserve it.
3:47
Speaker 2: So I tend to not want to make my birthday
3:49
Speaker 2: a thing, even though deep inside I think I do.
3:53
Speaker 2: Beth thirty one has similar sentiments. I feel behind on
3:56
Speaker 2: life's plans, or at least what is expected to be
3:58
Speaker 2: achieved by certain she says, and she's not alone. Yeah,
4:03
Speaker 2: and I think we've talked about this situation specifically many times,
4:07
Speaker 2: not just related to birthdays. But I can see that
4:11
Speaker 2: being a concern. So for me, I feel the same way.
4:15
Speaker 2: I feel like, if you don't celebrate my birthday, it
4:20
Speaker 2: kind of hurts my feelings because I feel like you've
4:21
Speaker 2: forgotten about me. But if you do celebrate my birthday,
4:24
Speaker 2: it feels overwhelming and I don't want that attention. So
4:26
Speaker 2: I have this like complex relationship with it that I
4:30
Speaker 2: want to be noticed, but I don't. I think it's
4:32
Speaker 2: the same thing when we talked about being a part
4:34
Speaker 2: of a podcast where we talk a lot about ourselves
4:38
Speaker 2: or the issues around and then we are seen as
4:43
Speaker 2: not experts necessarily, but people who do know and should
4:47
Speaker 2: know certain things. And so if we don't meet that,
4:51
Speaker 2: you know, we feel like we felt. But it's one
4:52
Speaker 2: of those things like, yes, I want to be seen
4:55
Speaker 2: as a somewhat expert, but I also don't want to
4:57
Speaker 2: be seen I want to do this that I don't
5:01
Speaker 2: want people to recognize me. Like all of these things
5:04
Speaker 2: are both both one and the same, And I feel
5:06
Speaker 2: like this is how I feel in celebrating birthdays in holidays.
5:10
Speaker 2: It feels like it should be something and I can't
5:12
Speaker 2: get to that something. But if it's not done for me,
5:15
Speaker 2: it hurts my feelings. If you forgot about my birthday,
5:18
Speaker 2: I I'd be sad. If you send me a fruit plate,
5:21
Speaker 2: I'm gonna be sad. But if you didn't see me, yeah,
5:27
Speaker 2: a specific incentate you see me a dry fruit that is.
5:31
Speaker 2: But you're supposed to know me and you don't know me.
5:33
Speaker 2: I'm like why. So there's a lot of things. So
5:35
Speaker 2: the article goes on to explain about this a little more.
5:39
Speaker 2: People who get down on their birthday might be confronting
5:42
Speaker 2: fears of getting older and facing their own mortality kings
5:45
Speaker 2: as a psychologist. For others, it could prompt a reflection
5:48
Speaker 2: on unrealized hopes, vanished expectations, and past failures. People might
5:53
Speaker 2: feel like they're not where they thought they would be
5:55
Speaker 2: or wanted to be at the stage of life. People
5:57
Speaker 2: might also feel overwhelmed by the pressure to feel happy
6:00
Speaker 2: and joyful on this day that is routinely dedicated to celebrations,
6:05
Speaker 2: at least in Western cultures. For some people, it might
6:08
Speaker 2: also activate traumatic memories, particularly if birthdays are a reminder
6:12
Speaker 2: of sad overwhelming our tragic experiences. And yeah, that's exactly
6:17
Speaker 2: one of those things of like I don't necessarily think
6:19
Speaker 2: about the mortality of it all, Like I have gotten
6:22
Speaker 2: more like, oh I'm getting old, But birthdays are not
6:25
Speaker 2: the thing. It's just more of like, oh, look at
6:26
Speaker 2: all the gray hairs, or oh my face is saggy,
6:29
Speaker 2: or oh my god, I've reacted to retinal in a
6:30
Speaker 2: really bad way and my face is now puffy. Those
6:33
Speaker 2: moments not necessarily birthdays. But then the other parts of
6:38
Speaker 2: that of like I should be celebrating. I love the
6:41
Speaker 2: people who love their birthdays it is so fun to
6:44
Speaker 2: watch them really excited and really enjoying their birthday. It
6:48
Speaker 2: also is nice when you know people will really remind
6:51
Speaker 2: you like that means you're alive. Celebrate that, you know,
6:54
Speaker 2: And there's moments of like, yeah, yeah, I wish I
6:58
Speaker 2: was that person that could feel that way and it's
7:00
Speaker 2: not something. And again it's one of those moments of like,
7:03
Speaker 2: you really try to push yourself because you feel like
7:06
Speaker 2: you should feel a certain way, but you really have
7:09
Speaker 2: a hard time with that because now you have this
7:11
Speaker 2: double layer of guilt. In another conversation, they talked about
7:16
Speaker 2: maybe it's because I'm an introvert. Maybe it's an introverted thing.
7:20
Speaker 2: So here's some thoughts about why introverts may hate their birthdays.
7:23
Speaker 2: According to introvert Dear dot com thank you to that person.
7:27
Speaker 2: One is that they get too much attention. This one's
7:30
Speaker 2: a no brainer. They right. Most introverts don't like being
7:34
Speaker 2: the center of attention, so having an entire day dedicated
7:37
Speaker 2: to them can be quite uncomfortable. It is especially tough
7:40
Speaker 2: when they're put on display in front of a lot
7:42
Speaker 2: of people anxiously waiting to see their reactions while opening
7:45
Speaker 2: gifts or making a wish and blowing out the candles
7:48
Speaker 2: to the tune of Happy Birthday. I and I say
7:52
Speaker 2: this because I love people opening gifts from me, But
7:56
Speaker 2: I have a hard time opening gifts because no matter what,
7:59
Speaker 2: there's like dread of how I'm supposed to act, and
8:06
Speaker 2: if it doesn't meet my expectations, sometimes I get a
8:09
Speaker 2: little overwhelmed and get very sleepy. We know this is
8:11
Speaker 2: how I react emotionally. So I'm like, I don't know
8:14
Speaker 2: what to do right now, and people are really really excited,
8:17
Speaker 2: especially when they're excited, and I'm so bad. I'm that
8:19
Speaker 2: person that gets excited about giving certain kids cause I'm like,
8:21
Speaker 2: I couldn't really love this, And then I'm like, oh no,
8:24
Speaker 2: I need to calm down because they might not really
8:26
Speaker 2: love this, you know, like that moment because I'm the
8:29
Speaker 2: same way. Then there's the whole idea of the social
8:34
Speaker 2: exhaustion of a party. Yeah, after my last big party,
8:37
Speaker 2: I quit because it was so overwhelming. I felt like
8:40
Speaker 2: I had failed in being in throwing a party and
8:43
Speaker 2: it was for my own damn birthday, and I was like,
8:46
Speaker 2: I'll never do this again. Why did I do this?
8:49
Speaker 2: They write, and when we throw a party, we might
8:51
Speaker 2: end up feeling anxious and worrying if everyone is having fun.
8:55
Speaker 2: It's our party, so we feel the pressure and responsibility
8:58
Speaker 2: to be a good host and ensure everyone is enjoying themselves,
9:01
Speaker 2: but in the process we sometimes forget to have a
9:04
Speaker 2: good time ourselves. There are definitely moments when I see
9:06
Speaker 2: people unhappy and it feels like a reflection of me
9:09
Speaker 2: and our friendship, and that feel awful. Like this is
9:11
Speaker 2: where I'm like, oh my god, oh my god, oh
9:14
Speaker 2: my god, why did I do this to myself? And
9:17
Speaker 2: I really thought because I used to love hosting things
9:20
Speaker 2: a lot, but for my birthday, it felt overwhelming. And
9:23
Speaker 2: that was one of those moments of like, and this
9:25
Speaker 2: was pre pandemic of like tripping into don't I don't
9:28
Speaker 2: think I like this. I don't like this feeling of
9:30
Speaker 2: being responsible. And if I see someone not having a
9:33
Speaker 2: good time or feeling like they're isolated, oh my god, Yeah,
9:39
Speaker 2: I'll think about that. I still think about those moments.
9:41
Speaker 2: I still think about specific moments from that birthday party.
9:44
Speaker 2: They're like, I'll never do this again. And then there's
9:46
Speaker 2: another one, the pressure to make it a special day. Yeah,
9:50
Speaker 2: And they talked about the pressure from others to make
9:52
Speaker 2: it a special day can be too much, and I
9:55
Speaker 2: think that's too Like I put that pressure on myself,
9:57
Speaker 2: but then I also put that pressure on other people.
9:59
Speaker 2: If they don't meet that, I feel really disappointed. What
10:04
Speaker 2: the hell? Yeah, So I also love that they go
10:07
Speaker 2: on to talk about how they don't necessarily hate all birthdays,
10:11
Speaker 2: is they just don't like their own. Yep, and I
10:13
Speaker 2: am that person. I love celebrating other people and I
10:17
Speaker 2: will do it as best I can in the way
10:19
Speaker 2: that they want to do it. But I need to
10:20
Speaker 2: celebrate you, whether it's just me and you going to
10:22
Speaker 2: your favorite restaurant, whether it's me and you having this
10:25
Speaker 2: one like trip, whether it's me give buying you something
10:28
Speaker 2: that you wanted for like forever, like it needs. I
10:31
Speaker 2: need to celebrate your birthday. But for me to do
10:34
Speaker 2: it on my own, it feels really overall overwhelming and like, yeah,
10:41
Speaker 2: feeling like it's going to be too much for people,
10:44
Speaker 2: or that I'm going to disappoint people, or that I'm
10:46
Speaker 2: going to be disappointed myself, and like there's so many
10:48
Speaker 2: things in that. And yeah, there are things that these
11:01
Speaker 2: articles say that you can do. Here's a bit from
11:03
Speaker 2: the Refinery twenty nine article Get reflective. Try to understand
11:07
Speaker 2: why you feel the way you feel, like, be okay
11:09
Speaker 2: in your feelings, kind of analyze a little bit, try
11:11
Speaker 2: to see where that route comes from. If you can,
11:13
Speaker 2: if it's not too traumatic, be careful of that. Practice
11:17
Speaker 2: self compassion, do the things that you want to do.
11:20
Speaker 2: Give yourself allowance to not celebrate if you don't want to,
11:23
Speaker 2: to just be a day or just do something that's
11:25
Speaker 2: so different that you don't have to think about it.
11:28
Speaker 2: Like a couple of years ago, any we went on
11:31
Speaker 2: that cabin trip. It was actually really lovely and all
11:34
Speaker 2: we did was sit around with the three of us
11:36
Speaker 2: playing games and eating schnittle. Yeah, we went to Helen. Y'all, Helen, Georgia.
11:42
Speaker 2: If you know, you know, lower your expectation, stop pressuring
11:45
Speaker 2: yourself or others to meet a certain ideal or standard.
11:48
Speaker 2: And I think this is why I started traveling more
11:52
Speaker 2: for birthdays, because you can't really control everything, so you
11:55
Speaker 2: don't know exactly what to expect, so you just let
11:57
Speaker 2: it be. And that's kind of like that's that being
12:01
Speaker 2: a part of that, And I kind of control enough
12:03
Speaker 2: to know the destination I want to go, but I
12:05
Speaker 2: don't know what all it's going to be there, and
12:07
Speaker 2: just kind of letting that time fly and knowing that
12:09
Speaker 2: sometimes doing too much gets me tired, so being able
12:12
Speaker 2: to enjoy a nice hotel room. It's also really good
12:15
Speaker 2: be honest, let others know what you're thinking or what
12:18
Speaker 2: you do or don't want. And I think that's a
12:21
Speaker 2: big part. Sometimes I just don't though I don't know,
12:24
Speaker 2: and that's that part of the conversation, Like I don't
12:26
Speaker 2: know what I want to do again, you and I've
12:29
Speaker 2: talked about this. Sometimes one of the things I do
12:31
Speaker 2: want is not to plan it. Yeah, and that's hard
12:34
Speaker 2: to figure out how to do that. Then you do
12:36
Speaker 2: want to do something, you just don't know what and
12:38
Speaker 2: you don't want to be the one to plan it.
12:41
Speaker 2: And then it says, give yourself permission to feel good.
12:44
Speaker 2: It's okay to be happy and be with who you love.
12:46
Speaker 2: So just really like, it's okay, do what makes you happy.
12:50
Speaker 2: Do something that you like, whether it is just hanging
12:55
Speaker 2: out with your dog, eating a piece of cake from
12:58
Speaker 2: Whole Foods. You do you if that makes you happy,
13:02
Speaker 2: if you makes you happy, to go to a drag
13:06
Speaker 2: show to play bingo. Do that, you know, hang out
13:09
Speaker 2: with a favorite friends and just have some drinks and
13:11
Speaker 2: sit around. That's lovely. And then there's one more that
13:15
Speaker 2: I found from very well mined celebrate however you feel comfortable.
13:19
Speaker 2: This is about you do what you want. And again, like,
13:22
Speaker 2: this is finding your levels, your comfort levels, and abiding
13:25
Speaker 2: by them. Don't let other people take over and do
13:29
Speaker 2: things that you were uncomfortable with. Having a surprise party,
13:32
Speaker 2: I would kill somebody. You better let me know we're
13:35
Speaker 2: having a party, and then you better let me know
13:36
Speaker 2: what to expect, because if not, we're gonna fight. I
13:40
Speaker 2: have not get with surprise parties. I had one thrown
13:43
Speaker 2: from me when I got my citizenship in middle school,
13:47
Speaker 2: and my best friend at the time knew I was
13:49
Speaker 2: going to start crying if I walked in, because not
13:52
Speaker 2: only was it embarrassing, it felt very othering, like they're
13:54
Speaker 2: trying to celebrate and it was such a sweet idea,
13:56
Speaker 2: but I'm like, hey, wait, not only am I not?
14:01
Speaker 2: Am I the only non white person here? You're going
14:03
Speaker 2: to celebrate something that is kind of alienating because I'm
14:07
Speaker 2: the only non white person here. So like, but it
14:10
Speaker 2: was such a sweet thought, just a little bit like misdirected.
14:14
Speaker 2: So my friend at the time was like, Hey, I'm
14:16
Speaker 2: gonna give your heads up. They're about to do a
14:17
Speaker 2: surprise party, a surprise I know you're going to freak out,
14:19
Speaker 2: like yes, I needed that.
14:20
Speaker 3: Thank you good friends, And I know she.
14:24
Speaker 2: Was like, I got you.
14:25
Speaker 3: Don't cry.
14:26
Speaker 2: So with all of that, all of this complaining and
14:29
Speaker 2: all of these thoughts, it is sometimes nice to see
14:31
Speaker 2: that I'm not the only one. And I think we
14:34
Speaker 2: both feel like sometimes we are too much in our
14:37
Speaker 2: heads when it comes to celebrating birthdays and trying to
14:40
Speaker 2: figure out why this is such a problem, and then
14:42
Speaker 2: feeling really bad for other people to have to deal
14:44
Speaker 2: with our problems. It's nice to see that we're not
14:48
Speaker 2: the only ones. That people are talking about this a
14:51
Speaker 2: little more, and at the very least like not necessarily
14:56
Speaker 2: encouraging it or trying to like make it bigger, just
14:59
Speaker 2: like being able to be like, Okay, I see it
15:01
Speaker 2: can it can be. It could be different for different people.
15:04
Speaker 2: Different people I have different reactions, and there's no such
15:08
Speaker 2: thing as a norm when it comes to birthdays and
15:10
Speaker 2: celebrations and all of that. Being told that they're happy
15:14
Speaker 2: you're here is lovely. I love you know. When people
15:17
Speaker 2: tell me happy birthday, I feel so great. At the
15:19
Speaker 2: same time, it does feel like are you so to
15:21
Speaker 2: Like it's just out of a courtesy because I love
15:25
Speaker 2: the Facebook. When I get messages from people I have
15:27
Speaker 2: not talked to you in ten years happy birthday, I'm like, oh,
15:30
Speaker 2: but you what?
15:33
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's interesting the text message too, because like, I'm
15:38
Speaker 4: a very equal opportunity texter. If you text me, I'll
15:41
Speaker 4: text you right right, Happy Birthday. This year, I got
15:44
Speaker 4: some out of left field people I haven't heard from
15:47
Speaker 4: in a while texting me, and I was like, where's
15:50
Speaker 4: this coming?
15:51
Speaker 2: Feels awkward. What's even more awkward is when I don't
15:53
Speaker 2: have their phone number and I don't know if they
15:56
Speaker 2: are and I'm like, oh no, who is this?
15:59
Speaker 3: Yes, well I was on the other end of that once.
16:01
Speaker 4: I texted at someone I considered close and I was like,
16:05
Speaker 4: happy birthday, and she's like, thanks, who is.
16:08
Speaker 3: Awkward? I never texted her Happy birthday again.
16:13
Speaker 2: That was actually one of the things on the list
16:15
Speaker 2: about like my introverse don't want introvers don't like about
16:17
Speaker 2: their birthday. It was about their phone calls. I didn't
16:19
Speaker 2: think it was a big deal but apparently could be.
16:23
Speaker 2: But yes, with all of that and through our listeners,
16:25
Speaker 2: who says happy birthday to us, thank you so much,
16:28
