I'm the same
It's either adhd
or depression memory block / suppression of emotion memory block
Poor mental health is said to cause memory loss
and I can attest to that personally so it may be the same for You
For some the not remembering childhood apart from emotions could be normal
but the forgetting last year seems to not be lowk
I'm the exact same, no particular trauma I had to block or anything. I also struggle for example with remembering people (both names and faces) unless I actively interact with them on a daily basis (and even then, if I don't see them for a few years I'm probably gonna not gonna recognize them on the streets). I am however pretty sure that I have undiagnosed ADHD and the comment above just made me realize that it could be the reason?!?
If you have the means to do so, in a country with a good medical system I suggest it! I'm Australian and got diagnosed on the cusp of turning 18 so I got most of it covered thankfully
It explained a lot as to why I had issues with eating and sleeping and deadlines + generally forgetting everyday stuff in my routine
Adding onto the main poster
it doesn't even have to be a single traumatic experience (could be in denial lowk)
Just generally blocking out bad memories
I wrote a lot more but my chud ass accidentally reloaded the page
I don’t remember most of the things from my childhood I don’t remember my friends, I don’t remember school, I don’t remember home, I remember hardly anything everything feels fuzzy only bits and pieces of me feeling sad or other negative emotions Those are the only ones I can recall
Thats fine honestly but I am starting to forget last year I don’t remember most of the things that happened to me (?)
Is this normal
