Hello! I’ve been looking around for a better understanding of how selective parts of my memory has collapsed around a specific parent who I greatly admired throughout my life. A few years ago that parent had a massive stroke which nearly killed them and has bedridden them. It frustrates me deeply that I cannot remember how they were before they lost the ability to walk. I cannot remember what they even looked like before. Is this dissociative amnesia or could this be something else? Unfortunately due to stigma within my culture and my family I do not feel comfortable reaching out for therapy although I know it may be helpful. I also do not have people to turn to within my family because as the “man of the house” I know it’s not appropriate for me to show weakness because I need to be strong for my family around me. I was hoping someone in this comment section may be able to give me answer. Sorry if all this is TMI. If anyone can refer to an online forum that would be better suited for this type of discussion please lmk

I'm sorry you are going through this. It's understandable to feel frustrated and confused, especially when you're carrying the burden of being strong for your family. Even if therapy feels difficult to access, finding support through online forums or trusted friends can be really helpful in processing these complex emotions.

Thank you for sharing your experience. Dissociative Identity Disorder is indeed real, and it's important to raise awareness and reduce the stigma surrounding it. Your story highlights the reality of living with DID and the challenges it brings. You're not alone, and your voice helps others understand and empathize. 💜

Thank you for this video. I have no memories of my childhood before my teenage years. No memories at all. I guess it is a dissociative amnesia. I have wondered if something I have no memory of is responsible for my life long depression and anxiety? I do worry that someday these memories will come flooding back someday.

It's understandable to have concerns about dissociative amnesia and how it relates to your mental health. It's worth exploring these feelings with a therapist who can guide you through this journey and help you manage any memories or emotions that may arise. Seeking support is a great step toward healing.
