I struggle a lot with trusting my memories in general, not just traumatic ones. There was a time in my life if I had an important conversation with someone I would replay it in my mind over and over again to be sure I heard it right and understood the message, even if I just finished talking to that person. It made absolutely no sense... ?
Now, when sharing some traumatic memories, especially things that someone said, not did, and I have no proof of it, I have a lot of fear that I'm just making it up, that it never happend, that I misunderstood, etc. Especially if I try to remember something that happend 10-15 years ago. Growing up, my family members could be very loving on one hand but later on also abusive so it was very confusing.
Has anyone experienced this anxiety? I dont know how to be more confident in myself and to be at peace about it...
