Michael,

I'm inclined to agree with Christine and call "for me" adverbial.  I 
don't see "difficult" fitting very well into the class of adjectives 
that normally pattern with complements, such as afraid, able, fond, 
certain, etc.  Those adjectives tend to be mainly predicative--that 
is, those that fit the subject complement position, as opposed to the 
attributives, those that precede nouns in the noun phrase. 
"Difficult" is equally at home in prenoun position, as most 
adjectives are.

One of  the clearest adverbial tests is movability, and here I think 
we can say "For me this is difficult" without changing the meaning.
