PTSD and Severe Memory Loss: Anyone Else?

Yup! I process things out loud so I can hear it and maybe remember it better. Have grace with yourself when you do forget, it’s not your fault

Absolutely, I'm glad I'm not the only one. I already have memory problems due to depressive disorder and dissociation, and ptsd has made them 10x worse

I have c-ptsd and TBI. It effects my memory and ability to focus greatly.

I feel the exact same way

yes! my memory loss includes most all of my childhood, but isnt limited to that with day to day life being forgotten when the day's over

Jesús i never related to a question so much in my life.

Yes I've been there I usually ask my close friends to remind me what we were talking about, and my aunt recommended journaling to remember the day.

I can barely remember my childhood (verbally abusive dad) and still have issues remembering anything these days, especially in a situation with authoritative people. I also will definitely completely zone out into a fog of imaging what he could yell at me about, especially when I’m stressed

Me too. Once I’ve dissociated, I can’t focus to save my life. And then I feel guilty and worry about how others are perceiving me, which just makes my anxiety skyrocket 😅

You aren’t alone! I’m right there with ya

absolutely!!! i was really worried about this, but your post made me feel less alone. thank you!! ❤️

Yes !
