memories do fade and change with age.

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?

Most people forget childhood memories. Having photos can trigger memories. Also, if you’re a smoker I’ve found it dulls childhood memory. When I quit and get my sense of smell back it triggers memories. Early life memories are strongly linked to smell.

Glad to see you back 💜 I noticed your absence but wondered if you were just lurking 💜
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 💜

It’s interesting because a lot probably is suppression but I don’t know how much is just die to old age.
