My T was asking me to fill out a questionnaire and because I wasn't going through things right there and then I just answered no to most questions. He was like "you answered this but what about what happened a few weeks ago?"
I tried googling it and all I found was articles on how to live in the present, like it's a good thing. Is it a good thing? Or do I have memory problems?

I Think it's a double edged sword. It's good to not remember the painful stuff, but when we forget it's easy to fall back into it.
I try to live in the present, but I do remember some of the bad. I think most of my memory has been wiped out because the events were so traumatic. The rest has been wiped out because of my meds.
