No one sent me a happy birthday. Am I over reacting?

Anonymous

Ever year on my bday I get really depressed. To the point where I can't get out of bed, starve myself and just cry throughout the day. I don't know what triggers it, but for years I've been embarrassed telling people my birthday, so I just avoid the convo all together. Well today I did something stupid. I was vulnerable! I've seen people post photos for their birthday, either posts or selfies. So I posted a birthday selfie on my Instagram story. It's been an hour, over 100 people saw it and no one responded to it. I don't know, maybe with the Hamlin situation, people just didn't notice? Either way, I am upset more with the people who I am close to and didn't respond to it. I don't usually post, but I figured why not? I feel more stupid than ever. I've even talked with these people about hanging out when school starts up next week and they totally ignored my story. Am I wrong for feeling like this? What's wrong with me?
