Next month will be three years since Daddy died. But I'm not so good with anniversaries. My memory is too bad to associate loss with any particular time. I miss him every day instead. Especially days that are difficult in ways I would have talked over with him.
The only anniversary that really leaves me melancholy is one dog who died on All Saints Day, and I usually just get reminded because of that horrible Halloween night. It's hard to forget Halloween.
This feels more entirely physical.
I really do think it's the result of a long period of stress. I've noticed it before, but it definitely gets worse as I get older. And of course, one effect of what happens is that I have no clear memory of other times it happens.
I was reminded on the medication board that I finally reduced to zero klonopin after ten years on at least 1 mg a day. I went down to 1/2 a few months ago, and then discontinued entirely a week or two ago. I suppose that might have something to do with it too.
