Septembers are so awful and hard for me as the end of the month is a big trauma anniversary. This past month was the worst it's been in a few years.

I've been wondering if it might be somehow easier on me if I take the month off from writing and creating and trying to be productive, but instead actually schedule in that month as one full of napping and crying and long walks with my service dog...

I think the biggest hurdle there for me is how hard my brain works to forget the anniversary is coming all summer - that makes it really hard to plan ahead for the inevitable. :(
