Does anyone else get super depressed on their birthdays?

Tomorrow is my 18th birthday, and I’ve never been more miserable. I legitimately cannot stop crying, I’ve been cooped up in my room all day. I’m not sure what’s wrong with me, or why I’m feeling like this. My birthdays have never been the greatest, I’m mature enough to know to lower my expectations, and let it be just another day, but every year I get more and more depressed on my birthday that it physically hurts. The other factors in my life that have been getting to me, but I thought my birthday would cheer me up and it isn’t. The worst part is everyone seems so excited about my birthday but me, my friends are going to end of the earth to make it special but i still feel nothing but empty sadness. It’s so weird.
