The "birthday blues" can be defined as a general sadness or feeling down by a person on or around his or her birthday.

Here are some factors that make us sad on our birthdays:

The thought of aging

Having high expectations for how you want the day to go and how you want to celebrate

A lack of accomplishments, or comparing your accomplishments to your peers your age

Not receiving the amount of love as an adult that you did as a child 

Nostalgia for happier times, happier birthdays with fewer responsibilities
