In reply to A Valentine I can Live With, posted by Shar on February 13, 2002, at 22:18:23
Perhaps this is a good time to admit that I'm so jealous of all of you who have managed to find some kind of romance in your lives. One of the upsides to my depression diagnosis a year ago is that I can at least feel normally abnormal. For me trust is a huge issue, and one that (I believe) still keeps me from getting close to people. So more power to those of you who have been able to have releationships (marriage or otherwise) in the midst of depression. I'm amazed at your fortitude.
Oh, the upshot is that I don't really think about Valentine's Day one way or another. (Though I do love those little candy hearts with the mottos.)
Resident sweet TOOTH,
