I have suffered at various times in my life from mild to servere traumas!

I am a TBI canidate mostly from my excursions in SE Asia conflict zone cirus in early Seventies to my other ones in Central America both in the seventies and eighties!

I have come to know these recurring overt anxious anxiety events as "Anniversary Syndrome"!

I get overtly antsy, withdrawn, callous, and unusally frustrated overtly more than usual!

Then because of the date, the news, and others situations, I start to realize that I went through these often life threatening traumized events during those times and dates in the near and distant past!

I now refer this to this "Anniversary Syndromes".

It has taken me years to realize how these events have effected my emotional and mental state!

They creep up upon me before I realize and remember the anniversary of these traumas.

I just do not dwell on them, often I have forgotten them, yet they seem to creep up, and often I do not realize until after the fact that the reasons for all my anxious anxiety are from these anniversary dates!

I have met several individuals in my lifetime who havce had similar problems!

Some have stated it is actually Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)?

Probably!

I have learn to reconize it!

It seems as we get older the time and dates rack up!

They are part of life!

We forge on and on!

Glad that our attempts to help have ben of value to you.

I agree, Anne. My experience is overwhelmingly positive, too and it's thanks to people like you, too, Anne. You are wonderful people, too!
