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

Re: TW sexual assault anniversary
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.
