I Hate Valentine's Day

[Junie-pie]

When all the red and pink comes out to play just after the "thrill" of Christmas, I feel bitter and angry and anxious all at the same time.
I was attacked on Valentine's day, and I find it so horrid that everyone seems to love this holiday, even looking forward to it, when all I want to do is run and hide. Literally everything triggers me on V. day. Valentine's day will never be a day for love anymore, just of fear and bitterness.

Thanks for the Post Junie-pie. I'm sorry for what happened to you on what is supposed to be a day we show love for each other. I don't care for the day either It is all about expectations.
Peace Be safe

((( :hug: ))) A friendly hug if ok? I am sorry that the day that is meant to celebrate love is now tarnished for you!

It's SOOO ALL over the place and the decorations go up as soon as the Christmas ones come down! St. Patrick's Day decorations will be up in 3 more days....
hang in there!

Blessings to you :tup:

I am sorry. I understand how this feels. There are trigger holidays for me too, and I know how hard that can be. Let us know how we can help.

I actually like valentines day and me an my mister want to get married (eventually) on that day in all 50 states (his idea not mine by the way) ... something to aspire to cause honey believe me it ain't happening anytime soon. However, there is definitely something to be said for a man willing to say 'I do' if all 50 states. ;)

Dunno if it will come to fruition however there's something about a scrap book of 50 marriage certificates from the 50 that is maybe a pipe dream but kinda romantic.

I share it with four legged pals. Love making them treats. I walk around and share them. Leave them in neighbors (with dogs) mailboxes. Love I trust.

@Junie-pie I am sorry that Valentine's Day is so bad for you. I personally have a love/hate relationship with the day. I hate Valentine's Day because my crap Ex used to assume that as long as he made the day special (meaning bought me a card) he was entitled to treat and use me any way he wanted because we were married. My love of Valentine's Day is because I have made it through just over three months of multiple major traumas and I know that I have a few months to breath easier before the next traumaversary.
