Struggling with Amnesia and PTSD Memories

Does anyone else experiencing amnesia due to PTSD feel robbed of their memories?? on one hand I'm thankful for my brain to filter out things I couldn't handle at the time but I sometimes wish I could recall everything that has happened. it's makes therapy so much harder when you yourself can't remember over half of the traumatic stuff you've been through.

The memories I have been robbed of are the good ones so I get that feeling in another way. I remember the trauma and triggers but if you ask me if I went to a park as a kid, I'll say I'm sure I did but I don't remember

Hi C4SP3R, I want to reassure you that you're not alone with this frustration. I also find memory loss really difficult, it happens for me with recalling trauma but also recalling general life events, day to day things and the order life has happened in. Your trauma is real, your experiences are real and the frustration is too. You're definitely not alone x
