Hey @The-red-centaur,
Anniversaries can be really powerful triggers when it comes to painful events. I'm sorry you're going through this right now. I'm going to send you an email to check in with you.
Take care,
Tortoiseshell

Sorry to hear you're struggling @The-red-centaur. I find anniversaries super hard too and I can see how this day might be a really hard one for you.
How have the last couple of hours (since your post) been?

I cooked dinner and watched half of starwars. I then contacted 1800respect coz things got too much. I'm a little better now and I'll try to be safe.

Hi @The-red-centaur
So sorry you are going through this again, at your one year anniversary. So hard, I know. Because I go through it every year too. I have my 24th anniversary coming up in just over a week. Something I have been dreading. Triggers around anniversary time are that much more extreme and affect us so much more than at other times. I dont know why it is. When I told my psych last week when I saw her that it was just ridiculous that I was reacting in this way after so many years. She said that "even if your mind is not reminding you of this anniversary, your body will know, and it will react accordingly". Be prepared, stay grounded, reassure yourself that it isnt happening now, you are a survivor, you are brave, you will be okay.
