Discussion Does anybody have experiences with memory loss?

[tasmaka]

Any sorts, repressed, suppressed, amnesia, anything.

For me I had a constant stressful environment growing up, so majority of my memories just dont exist. With this, I also lose my sense of connections, even though ive spent forever with the people around me.

I feel like a shell of a person.

Recently alot of people have either died or left socially, and I lack an emotional response, or feeling. But there is something I feel trying to be felt But I cant quite get it.

I'm sorry you have this feeling :( but you're definitely not alone. For me, most of my childhood and early teen years seemed to be completely wiped out of my head. Even for memories from 2-3 years ago, I just get glimpses here and there but it's mostly suppressed somewhere in my head. It fucking sucks…

I'm sorry you feel that way. I have some random gaps in my memory, I can't remember a lot of stuff from when I was 13-14. I went through a lot of shit when I was younger so I'm kinda grateful I don't remember some things.

Yes, it made it quite hard for me to even write my note because there's been so much that I straight up don't even remember some of the reasons why I feel this way because they've become so repressed.. It's scary how much long term depression and trauma can give you memory loss. I didn't even fully remember my biggest childhood trauma until about 3 or 4 years ago, and it's something I plan on keeping to the grave and didn't put in my note because it would be too much for my family

Honestly I very much agree, its crazy to think about how Its possible to forget things that shaped you, even if bad it feels like a dumb joke from life itself

I understand, when I was around that age I struggled immensely as well, I remember realizing the gaps I had in my memory, its pretty damning to think of as a child

I can't really remember my childhood at all just special moments obviously but I couldn't tell you anything about my twenties I can't remember them either lots of trauma (just turned 30)

My memory has been a mess for a while. i usually can't even recall (pretty notable) events from the past week without someone giving me hints. i feel like a stranger in my own life. been living on autopilot ig.
