Valentines Day-ugh

If you’re feeling extra depressed today, please know that is perfectly normal in your situation. And I wish I could say something to make you feel the slightest bit better. But all I can really do is tell you I relate, and perhaps that will bring you some comfort in this moment.

A word of advice, stay away from the grocery store today. It will be full of flowers and chocolates which may be triggers for you. Stay away from restaurants, movie theaters, anywhere you can imagine couples will be going to celebrate today.

Now, this will make you feel ostracized, but you can do something for yourself instead. I recommend eating a whole chocolate cake in bed, while watching your favorite programs or reading a book. Take a hot bath or shower. Lather yourself in yummy fragrances. Today should be all about your self-care, no one else.

I say all of this with love and compassion for you and your wellbeing. Please take care of yourself every day the best you can, especially on holidays. Because, unfortunately, no one else really knows what you need to be comforted.
