It's one of those things... You can't expect your family to spoil you or celebrate with you after a certain age - especially if they never really did in the first place. It kind of falls to you to keep the tradition up. And unfortunately, if you have no friends, it will be a solo affair.
Think about your birthday as a celebration not only of you having been born, but actually that you're still here. Think of it like a "fuck you" to everything that you came up against or struggled with, everything that is still there trying to keep you down. You've made it one more year. You've survived the depression and other issues you've been dealing with. You're stronger than many.
So celebrate surviving and being here, and that you still have an opportunity to experience good things in life, despite the bad. Celebrate that by doing what Rascal suggested; don't rely on other people to make your birthday special, treat yourself. Do something fun.
