if you remember nothing from your life there are two causes i can think of: either something is organically wrong with your brain, which you could rule out by getting scans done, or some kind of extensive trauma has pushed your brain into compartmentalizing itself in a way that blocks out all your memories. can you recall if your family was at all strange, or is everything just missing?

i understand this feeling in some ways. this may sound weird, but have you tried asking yourself things internally, or searching for other pieces of yourself that you might have lost? if you lose parts of your mind or self, sometimes you can get them back by reaching out and trying to talk to them. it can help you be more grounded or recover memories.

I have black holes where memories should be and some people are just gone but I recognise them when I see them. I think you should get medical advice because that sounds like it could be something more than that

i think OP should see a doctor to check brain function. if nothing is abnormal there, it's almost definitely a psychological issue. look into dissociative identity disorder if nothing comes up on scans, but absolutely see a doctor before anything else. as soon as possible.

do you have health insurance? if you don't have a doctor you see, call your insurance to look for a healthcare provider close to you that's covered. (assuming you're in the US) i think a primary care physician can refer you to where you need to go.

I´ ve had to let my family go, meaning parents, as they were just getting in the way and never understood me.

I read somewhere that depressed people suffers from memory loss. I am having this problem as well. I used to have really good memory. The funny thing is, I still remember the past memories that I cherish.

I'm hoping that's what op's talking about. My depression killed my memory too. When I have episodes of psychosis I get like that- completely forgetting friends, family, rules (like of the road) and situations I should be very aware of. It can become very dangerous.

I hope you're okay. I get it can be scary. If you need anything PM me, I sent you one already

 

[WornOutLife]

I haven't forgotten but I've realized that things have changed lots.
I used to have lots of friends and a big family. Now I only have my dad, mom, brother and my dog.

i always ask myself stuff internally but i think that's the problem.
