Hi Daisy. Welcome to the forum!
I am a PTSD sufferer too and, while I've been going to therapy for some time now, haven't really gotten to the hard part yet; however, it is coming up for me.
I don't have many memories of my childhood and my short-term memory sucks. I've asked the therapist and psych. doctor about it and they both think it was due to the trauma I experienced and the length of time I experienced it (until I moved out of the house at 22). When I asked the therapist if I would ever get back memories of my childhood - because I know there has to be good ones in there - he replied, "Probably not."
There is no set time for someone new here on the forum to start asking questions; some want to lurk for a while and others want to dive right in. Feel free to do either one! We're glad you're here and want to help yourself. And...you may find that by asking questions you'll be helping others too.
