Its the little [censored] like that that is gonna make today hard. Otherwise it's just another day.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!
It's good to hear from you. If it was my 29th birthday, you better believe it wouldn't be just another day for me. I hope you'll treat yourself to something you really enjoy.
I save cards, too. I don't know why, b/c I've looked at them.....maybe once. The thing for me is when I see a card from a loved one who has passed away.......or is no longer a part of the family due to divorce......it triggers feelings of deep sadness. I have had to deal with depression most of my life, and I've learned to avoid a few activities that I know will cause me to sink lower. Some things can't be avoided, of course, but looking through old photos or sentimental things that belonged to my loved ones, is something I can put on hold for a day when I'm not as likely to break down.
I think you said you were looking for something else when you came across the cards. You might want to consider putting them in a separate box, label it, and put it away. Just knowing it's there, should you want to look at them in the future, might help get you through this period. Just a suggestion.

I don't hurt as much all the time anymore and rarely cry like I use too.
Good for you! That is emotional progress. (((hugs)))
Now.......get out and celebrate your 29th birthday!
It is not about what you feel should work in your M. It is about doing the work that gets the right results. Do what works!
