Hi. I feel like that a lot. At first, i didnt really realize how it was. But after being in therapy for 7 yrs, i know that my life is like a night of heavy drinking...i remember bits and pieces. FOr a long time, i denied i lost time, but now realize i do. I just didn't realize i did since this all seems normal to me.
I have no memory of elementary school. Cannot remember any teacher. My memories start at about 7 yrs old. Still, none involve school except one in the fifth grade - but it was like i was dropped in, then dropped out again. All i remember is seeing a teacher with red hair. Don't remember her name. Recently, my others have told T that i was created when the body was 7. Freaky, i want to deny everything.
I don't remember my sister's wedding, though i was her maid of honor. When i look at the photos, i can't remember them.

When T asks how have things gone this week, it's like a fog. I think and say i guess okay because i can't really remember, yet is seems like a continuity, like i have been here, normal...i think there is continuity but things have come out that there hasn't been. T says he thinks part of my job is not to remember, to forget...so i can keep functioning in the outside world
that's my expereince. not sure if it helps.
take care
the one called Silvergirl
Thanks for this!
