Mental health wise I've been in real crisis for the past couple of weeks but I seem to have come back from the brink somewhat.
Is it weird that I don't remember large chunks (think years) of my childhood?
memories do fade and change with age.
Glad to see you back ๐ I noticed your absence but wondered if you were just lurking ๐
I'ma place this under a spoiler just in case
I also am missing a lot from my childhood, but that's the cptsd. Trauma tends to cause a repression, though I assume you know this. Please don't take me saying this, as telling you what's up. That's just my experience.Also, I do think some memories do fade naturally anyway, especially as we age.
I hope things take a turn for the better for you WS ๐
It's interesting because a lot probably is suppression but I don't know how much is just due to old age.
