Has anyone else forgotten their childhood?

[Mort]

My memory it all most shot its was down to breathing problems. In short my lungs all most stop working one nite i had a bad attack i black out my parents found me on the bathroom floor past out and barely breathing. Was rushed to hospital but my blood oxygen was so low it damaged my brain long term memory's were the first to go . I am lucky if I can remember the last ten years my lungs are better now all most back to normal about 90% now which is good. It did other damage to like kidneys and liver are falling me slowly think thats what going to end it for me . May be got a year or two before it all packs up mite hurry it a long tho . I am on pain killers i just keep taking just over the maximum dose and its helping it move along nicely. Best thing it will look like an accident to so the legal side of things should go okay.

I did not have a bad childhood at all but i wont lie in saying that my past doesnt really feel like mine.

To preface, anyone aware of the theseus paradox? To simplify it with key points 1. Lets say theres a ship called the big theseus 2. We replace one piece of the ship over time 3. The ship is now made with entirely new parts 4. Is it still the big theseus?

When looking at biology we know that over time we are no longer the original being we were years ago. In fact we live long enough for the human body to replace ever single cell in our body about 2 or 3 times depending on how long we live. As such i tend to think of my childhood as belonging to the old collection of particles that was me decades ago. The me now is just a collection of particles with memories of a long dead individual.

Needless to say my memories dont feel like my own

 

[Life sucks]

I'm disassociated from my childhood so I don't feel its the same person usually.

I deleted many memories of the past although there are still some memories because of trauma. There are also some good memories like playing video games.

Despite the trauma, I don't think about the past, what happened later in life was something very painful and different that I became a new person.

Most of my memories come from the last decade only. I try to delete unpleasant things and keep good things. Hard but not impossible however much traumatic experiences still annoy me.
