The very, very most difficult time of my life lasted from September 1965 through October 1966.
I graduated from high school in May 1965, and went off to college at Oregon State University in September. I was very homesick. Then the rains set in. Day after day the rains came down. It was dark and gloomy. I never, ever saw the sun. Corvallis set a new record that year with 120 straight days of rain.
