Valentine’s Day disgusts me. For me all it does is bring back memories of trauma. Because of every single relationship I’ve been in, I hate love. I’ve actually gone out of my way to avoid meeting new people since everyone has left me behind. My only two friends that I had cut me off. Sure I don’t get to do anything that people my age get to do, like go to the mall with friends, but I firmly believe that having friends is NOT essential in life.

      Hey girl I totally understand you and honestly agree. After doing everything for my friends they don't treat me the same so I just decided to cut them all off. Why should I give my all to them when they don't do the same for me? And I'm sorry about your PTSD with this holiday, I know it'll get better with time. Some advice would be to just disregard the day as nothing special and just do things to distract like play games or watch movies. It'll be over soon!

      I used to feel like this, but after watching Stutz on Netflix I learned that people are essential to life and to bring you out of depression even if they aren't long term friends. I have Bipolar disorder so any time of relationship is hard to maintain for me but I keep putting myself out there and I had so much anxiety after and before class that I would cry when I got home. This semester is much better but I still haven't really followed my boundaries. I need to realize that people have weird shittu things that they are going through and are trying to change about themselves and I need to trust their process along with mine. A girl in my class is quiet and I looked her up on Facebook and read that her dad died around Christmas time last year. I realized that I judged people for how I saw them and not for how they are trying their best in the world.

      I actually kind of agree with that statement to an extent
