Is AUTHOR wrong in the post ? POST : Today (2/17) is my birthday and I’m turning 24 but lately life hasn’t quite been going my way. I’ve been struggling with anxiety, depression and addiction and recently started back on medicinal and behavioral therapy. My parents (mom more than dad) have been really supportive through everything but at the same time my mother is incredibly controlling and anxious in her own right and is somewhat of a trigger. Last night I got home from work at midnight and didn’t really fall asleep until 3 and woke up at 6:30 and woke up kinda depressed but I got up and showered anyway before mom took me to church (she makes me go.) We had plans today after I got off work to go to dinner but I realized last night as I lied awake that I don’t want to celebrate my birthday this year, in light of recent events it just doesn’t feel right. That is,  I don’t want to go to dinner, so I texted to cancel dinner plans and decided I’d rather stay on campus after I got off to study some with a classmate but I agreed to be home in time for cake. My question is am I the asshole for not wanting to celebrate and go to dinner with them?
