Hi all,
Although I was diagnosed with PTSD a couple of years ago (along with anxiety, depression, and insomnia), it still seems so fresh. I’ve noticed that before I came out about the sexual abuse I endured in my childhood, I had the best memory ever, but now after having talked about my trauma and seeking therapy, I can barely remember things as simple as when and if I take daily medications. It’s almost like my mind or brain is playing tricks with me. I feel like there’s something wrong with me, especially since I’ve never had memory loss like this—but my therapist said that memory loss after trauma is normal, especially in those with PTSD & anxiety. Anyone else suddenly experience bad memory? What d’you guys do to help with it? Not to mention I just turned 21, so I’m way too young to have a demented mind.
