Today is Halloween. It is a very big trigger.

Halloween was once my favourite day of the year. But that enjoyment has been ripped away and I resent it. Now it has become the most angry of days.

Not only did my mom pass away on this day but it is the anniversary of a horrible incident from my military past. Halloween is a huge trigger for my PTSD. I am bitter and resentful, nauseated and repulsed, and full of humiliation, shame, and feeling dirty.

How dare this day be stolen from me.
