I had a flashback about two weeks ago after a traumatic experience at the ER. I never thought I had suppressed a memory. I guess I had dissociative amnesia. It was just awful. It was as real and as current as the very moment I am writing this. I was eight-years old again. Oh my god...It's too much sometimes.
Although, I did dissociate some events I was conscious of for years. As a child, I pushed the memories into the back of my mind. It was like these things happened, but they didn't happen to me. My denial saved me in a sense...I guess.
