The two anniversary dates that have bothered me in the past are both in June. Mid and late-when my dad died and twelve months later my sister died. I've had two anniversaries since my PTSD started...one that helped kick start it and then last year.
Last year was very hard. Part of it, I know, was because I was dreading the anniversaries. Part of it was also because I was in the middle of dealing with traumas and issues and that little extra stress really knocked me down.
Since I've dealt with so much (so DAMNED much!) in the last 12+ months, I'm hoping that this coming June will be a lot easier for me to get through. I know there are things that will always cause sadness for me or a rise in my anxiety. But I'm not worried or dreading June like I did last year.
