Or do I have a head injury?

You know, the longer I spend in post-menopausal word loss --

"if you don't live in a country with an active -- aw, hell, I've lost the word -- not royalty, not monarchy, not oligarchy, the thing where some people have better blood than other people --"

"Aristocracy?"

"Thank you!"

-- the more familiar it looks to me when Ray Kowalski says "the Northwest Areas" or starts the Miranda statement and then loses his place and trails off.

(Due South content in 2022 is thanks to fox, who KNOWS WHY.)

It also happens as a result of some meds -- SSRIs can do it a bit, but anything that's an anticonvulsant will really eat memory.

One of my meds is an anticonvulsant (being used for anti-anxiety/augmenting antidepressants), so I am VERY familiar with this effect.

(First time I was put on it, I woke up the next morning and had a panic attack because I realized I couldn't remember the name of the drug I was on.)

I should be hitting menopause in the next several years, so I'm rather grimly contemplating what it'll be like with menopausal fuckery stacked on top, and whether being used to working around it already gives me an edge, or whether I'll have no short-term memory or ability to put a sentence together at all.

I would think that having some practice would help!
