Hey guys.
Just reaching out to find out if memory loss is normal. I suffered my trauma when I was 12 so I don't know if my brain decided that it was going to wire differently to a normal person. I read somewhere it was to do with the hippo campus (I've prob said that wrong coz all im picturing is a beast with half its head sticking out of water). I can remember the lead up to my trauma,the incident and after but when it happened my surroundings went black. The police took me to the scene and I couldn't give any extra info just "everything around me was black". Yeah great help that was! So I remember that from 25 years ago and I remember the night my partner past away. Again I remember the lead up,the event and pretty much every detail of that night and a few weeks after. Then everything after the funeral goes a bit blurry. It's like my life was on fast forward.
It's not just little things I forget but it's quite important things as well. Is this normal?
I also can't remember my partners face or voice.
I have photos of him but I always think that they are not what he looked like. Maybe its because I saw him at the chapel of rest I don't know. Could it be dissociation?
Before my mum goes to work she will ask me to do something or tell me shes popping somewhere after work and nine times out of ten I forget.
Its like a brain overload. Like my mind is to taken up with traumatic memorys that nothing else can go In so lt doesn't.
Anyone else feel like this or does it happen to you?
