I know how hard anniversaries can be, and I don't expect you to "be over it" or able to cope with it. It doesn't matter how long ago it happened, all that matters is that it did happen, and it obviously has stayed with you. But I want to stress how the word 'did' is in the past tense. In the past. And although that doesn't make it much easier, it should help you realise that it's not going to happen this time around.
It's alright that counselling didn't work for you, it doesn't always work for everyone. And it's alright you feel you can't talk about it to anyone, but do you think that maybe talking about it will help?
If you don't feel up to talking to someone professionally, a friendly ear can always help. Don't hesitate to PM me if you want someone to listen.
Take care of yourself,
