Does anyone else particularly struggle with depression and low self-esteem around valentines? I feel like society is just judging me for being single and not being able to date. I feel particularly lonely, and the dark and dreary weather doesn't help either. I have anxiety and ME/CFS so I find it hard to go out and meet new people at the best of times but at this time of year its especially hard when romance is being shoved down your throat. It just feels especially depressing to be unloved on valentines and then I feel guilty because I have family and friends and a roof over my head and people have it so much worse and here I am whining that I don't have a date, but I feel like I'm never going to find someone because I'm just damaged goods that are past their sell by date. Anyway I'm sorry to rant about stupid stuff and make no sense but I had to get it out somewhere.

      I call it Singles Awareness Day for a reason, regardless of my relationship status. This time of year is a pain in the butt. You are not alone.

      Not stupid at all. I don't care at all about Valentine's day, I don't do anything in particular with my husband and we don't do present, we just ignore it. But I really, really hate Christmas and I feel miserable, completely disconnected, depressed and grumpy for a month, until everything is over. Hence, I can completely understand what you are saying and I feel for you. Xx

      It's definitely not stupid, I get kind of moody and sad around Valentine's day, too. Just remember to take care of yourself. You don't owe singleness or coupled-ness to anyone
