My husband and I were talking about something, a conversation we'd had a few weeks ago. When I described what I remembered, he swore that the conversation never happened at all.

The memory was as clear as day, including where we were, what we said... everything.

Has anyone experienced this? Were you depressed, manic or stable?

Yes, I've been told my memory is completely wrong, when I know their version is not what happened. It's usually a he said/she said sort of thing with no third party to validate either of us. I hate the way it makes me doubt myself.

I was perfectly stable each time it happened. If I'd been manic or depressed, I'd take the other's word for it, cause I have notoriously bad perceptions during those times.

Was he watching tv at the time of the conversation???

Maybe he just doesn't remember?

I have a very good memory. It is weird really. When I decide I'm going to put something in my head, it stays. If it is a conversation that's important to me at the time, I can tell you most of it even years later including what you were wearing, facial expressions, tone of voice etc. Objects in the room and so on. Of course, if it is something that doesn't interest me, I don't remember.

I suspect that most people don't have the kind of memory I do so, I find myself having the same sorts of conversations but, know very well what was said. It is quite annoying sometimes when I have to answer questions over and over again and I'm thinking, "I told you that last week. You were wearing a blue shirt and smiling."

You can't go living life questioning everything you experience as possibly crazy just because you've had some bipolar episodes. You'll live in doubt in be miserable because anything positive might just be that mania thing and anything you experience may just be psychosis, any sadness is depression...choose not to do that to yourself.

I am willing to bet that it happened and he doesn't remember.

This happens to me...And I wasn't sure if it was because I just have bad memory or something else...During one conversation I had with my bf, I got tired of him saying, "You don't remember? You don't remember? How could you not remember?" I finally said, "You know what? I'm going to start taping our conversations" because I get tired of him saying I don't remember things. Again, I don't know if it's just me or if it's something else, but I have noticed that my memory and how I recall things is often "off". It could be anything from recalling a childhood memory to not recalling a conversation or what was said...
