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I get overtly antsy, withdrawn, callous, and unusally frustrated overtly more than usual!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

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