I am so sorry.  It is not necessarily the time that you are married that allows you to file for annulment.  You need to have grounds to file.  The grounds vary from state to state.  In your state some of the grounds are fraud or misrepresentation, mental disability, addiction to drugs, etc.  It is harder to get a marriage annuled than divorce.  Seek legal help. Good luck.
