I have a "hated" month too, my birthday month = August. for about 10 years running terrible things happened either ON my birthday or a day or two removed from my birthday, it got so I would get anxious in July, worried about what was to come. These last two Augusts went by without a hitch or negative event. I'm saying a little prayer for you that your Octobers will start getting better (instead of worse!) soon! Hugs.
