💘 Valentine’s Day can carry a lot of pressure — emotionally, socially, and physically. For many disabled, chronically ill, and neurodivergent people, it isn’t just about romance. It can bring up comparison, exhaustion, sensory overwhelm, financial stress, relationship strain, or a sense of being “out of step” with expectations.

In this video, we gently explore why Valentine’s Day can feel particularly hard when your energy, capacity, or social experience is different from the cultural norm.

You’ll learn:
🧠 Why social comparison and “highlight reel” culture intensify pressure
⚡ How limited energy or fluctuating health impacts romantic expectations
🎭 The role of masking and performance in relationships
💬 How to communicate needs without guilt
🌱 Practical ways to approach the day in a way that protects your wellbeing

This isn’t about rejecting love or dismissing the day entirely. It’s about making space for your reality — whether that includes rest, adaptation, redefining romance, or opting out altogether.

✨ You are not failing at relationships if your Valentine’s Day looks different.
✨ Love doesn’t have to be loud, expensive, or exhausting to be real.

💬 If this resonates, you’re not alone.
