　　I'm sorry you needed to leave your job and lost your friends. You're right that sitting around on your birthday isn't a good idea. I suggest doing something new. Get out of the house. Try a different kind of food. Go to the movies. Plan a short road trip. Go listen to some music. Enjoy your own company. Don't re-enter your house until you've had a little adventure.

　　你不得不辞掉工作还失去了朋友，我对此感到很难过。你说得对，光是在生日时坐在那儿无所事事并不是个好主意。我建议你做些新奇的事情。走出家门，尝尝不一样的食物，计划一个短途旅行，听点音乐，享受独处时光。在你经历过一次小小的冒险之前别回家。

　　Good luck. We've all been there. It will get better.

　　祝你好运，我们一直在这里，一切都会变得更好。
