Do you experience times that you dread, for good reason, and it's like set in stone that it will be bad? Oct and June are those months for me. The anticipation is horrible, then the actual time is bad, because you have set yourself up for this. Does that make sense?

I don't have bad months but bad seasons. I hate the week leading up to thanksgiving and the 2 weeks before Christmas. I just hate them. I hate my inlaws! My own family is alcoholic and mentally ill so they're not much fun to be around either. BAh humbug!

Christmas. A lot of memories tied to that and the here and now stress on top of that. New Year... not good either nor my birthday... and oh also practically every month of the year.... but we cope, right and try to live in the here and now.

The past is still too strong for me to be in the here and now right now. Maybe in time though, and would be a reasonable goal to aim for.

I don't like the winter months. I tend to get depressed because of the weather.

The time leading up to Christmas I also find to be worse than after Christmas. It is at least partially due to the overly commercialized Christmas season. I noticed Christmas supplies in my local Walmart the other day! In September! I love Thanksgiving but think it has been drowned out by the Christmas Shopping season.

I agree that what we used to enjoy as the divisions of seasons and holidays is now so rushed it's hard to enjoy them anymore. Then you add the traumatic memories and it's not a "happy" time. Before my world came crashing in I would get depressed (SAD) when the days got shorter. Now it's a continuous thing.
Have you ever used the Veterans Crisis line? They have a live chat function now. Used it last night and it wasn't as scary as I thought and the person was very caring and supportive.
