Re: TW: adultery, self harm

[(Anonymous)]

Personal anecdata ahead, but hopefully it helps!

I have photographic memory, so for most of my life I could give a pretty accurate retelling of shit. BUT I have severe chronic depression, and the periods in my life where the depression has been the worst have left huge gaping holes in my memory. Like, I could tell you exactly what worksheets I did in kindergarten, down to how many green and red apples were on the page, but I can't tell you what classes I took in my junior year of high school. If I try to recall those time-frames from the worst of my depression it's literally gray and hazy and disjointed in a way that my other memories aren't.

I'm not really sure why this is, but one of my ex-bfs talked about experiencing something similar so I doubt it's unique to me. Maybe depression fucks with memory retention?

It does. Also anxiety does. It fucks with our brains.

I don't have photographic memory, but there's a distinctive period where I KNOW I'm missing parts (because other have told me the stuff I forgot) and where timelines sort of get muddled, and I'm not sure on cause and effect, and time seems to either stretch or compress that's linked with me being anxious and depressed. There's a distinct difference between how I remember that period and say, my childhood or my college years.

AYRT

I'd say my memory is pretty good when it comes to remembering stuff in context especially stories (I rarely re-read a book because I already now what will happen) but I'm horrible at memorizing random numbers. So my first impulse would be to say I probably don't remember days in my life in which nothing worthy of remembering happened unless something sparks that memory.

As I said upthread I'm reading through the chatlogs I saved and now I can remember writing and reading those words. It's actually really weird to remember the feelings I had at the time and simultaneously looking back with the hindsight I have now.
