Hurray to you!!!!!! Yes we do have anniversaries, and we can make newer and better memories on those days, i.e. birthdays blues, make a huge surprise party for yourself including all your favorites things. Another bad day, make a new one that day or the day before, celebrate something wonderful, like butterfly day, etc., and fill the day with butterflies of all kinds, or cake day, candle day etc.
You have discovered a new way of coping in a very positive way, celebrate your new way of thinking, you deserve it.
