I used to notice a definate mood change for about a month before her birthday. I have dealt with it by accepting and embracing it. I would set aside the entire day of her birthday for taking care of me. No work, school, appointments, errands, chores...nothing. I would allow myself to be as sad as I needed to be, but if I wasn't sad I would let myself be happy (or whatever) too. It really helped to just allow myself the misery. It is so much easier now. My birthdaughter is 9 1/2 now.
