You're always welcome to answer the questions, no matter how much or little you post :)
That's awesome that this past year's anniversary was much easier... it's amazing how big that difference can be after a few times of going through it.
I'm glad you have been able to not only talk with your friends about the rape, but that they help support you on your anniversaries. And it's so cool that your hubby planned a day of relaxation to help support you, too. I'm glad you married someone who can be that supportive and loving - and it's great that you're able to celebrate your anniversary with him. It's a great positive thing to focus on :)
Yeah I can see how that could be a big trigger. It's amazing how much places can bring us back to that time period
The first anniversary can be pretty tough, and I'm glad that you've been developing your coping skills as much as you have - it gives you a good chance of being a bit less overwhelmed.
It's good that some of the triggers about those events have lessened in intensity a bit - that makes it a little less overwhelming to try to process the emotions those events bring up inside you.
