Valentine's Day: A Personal Post

Hey everyone! I'm so sorry that I broke my promise of posting again a few days ago but I figured, "Hey, why not do a Valentine's Day comedy sort of thing?"

Psychology will be involved a bit, but that's mostly personal experience involved and its effects on depression. Mine, anyway, it'll be a bit different than someone else's.

I'm currently figuring out the next Psychology Basics installment so this is sort of filler, I guess.

So Tumblr has been putting out these horrible Valentine's Day cards and I'm printing some out to give to my friends tomorrow. The top three are included. I love all of them so, so much.

I have so many more I would put on here. Maybe at the end of this post I'll add in more of my favorites, but I don't want to overload the blog with horrible pictures just yet. Oh well - I guess it will be fine.

In my experience, Valentine's Day doesn't really effect me at all. It's kind of sad, really. Of course, up until this point I hadn't liked anybody in that way yet (Sherlock Holmes doesn't really count - or does he?) and now that I like somebody I know tomorrow might be an entirely different experience.

Otherwise, any loneliness I might experience during depression stays the same.

Of course, for somebody who prefers to be in a relationship, I can imagine it being worse. Valentine's Day may be a "Hallmark holiday" but it still gives us all an excuse to purchase each other gifts to show how much we love each other. And, of course, there is a high conception rate. Not that I care about that a lot but for many people parenting is exciting.

Anway...

as you can tell I'm a bit better than okay today. I've been kind of hyper the last few days and it came immediately on the heels of a depressive episode so I'm wondering if an "up" phase is in order. I haven't had any "happy" feelings per se...hell, it's normally irritation I experience - but I'm still feeling energetic and productive and that I can do a whole hell of a lot. 

So I guess tomorrow's "depressed and in love" experiment won't pan out like I want it to. Oh well. I guess the Valentine's cards will be interesting. Only a few of my friends out of the few I have know that I'm giving out cards but my name won't be on them so I wonder if the ones who don't know will know they came from me?

Anyway, I guess to end this pointless post I'm going to add in a few more weird cards for you all to enjoy. Until the next REAL post, these photos will serve their purpose of entertainment. Bye! (Warning: these are inappropriate and a couple contain some foul language. You have been warned.)
