Childhood

My new therapist wants to know about my childhood but I really do not remember being a kid. I remember little bits or stories. I'm not even sure I remember them just remember being told about it when I was a little older. I recently found out my brother does not remember either. Really makes me wander what may have happened in our childhood that we completely forgot about it. I do remember that both my parent drank a lot. They never really seemed drunk. They both had full time jobs. That's all I remember. WEIRD?

remember outside of school. lived right down the street from it till i was 18. i do not remember elementry school or jr high teachers or friends. remember we had 2 german shephards. do not remember bikes although i remember riding them to town or being told later that I rode to town.
lol on the ants

I remember the bad times, and now suffer from post tramatic stress. My mom and dad fought a lot and he would beat my mom severly in front of me. I was always running to my grandma or the hospital next door for help. When I was very young like 3, I was always running to the next door neighbor cause my mom had pseudio seizures. Scared the hell out of me. I was never able to relax as a child unless I was with my grandparents, but that wasn't total relaxation cause I would worry if my mom was getting beat at home and I wasn't there to protect her. Sorry for rambling.

also sorry you went through that deborahscinder.
fireworks you are lucky
My Anxiety Life I am glad i'm not alone.
I have been thinking about trying hypnosis but not sure I want to go through that. I'm also going to therapy so maybe something will come out there.
I am a little jealous of people who remember all about thier childhood. like my husband can tell stories about when he was in 2nd and 3rd grades.

I remember almost every thing, there are periods of time I don't remember and sometimes I think that is the mind protecting us.

I will recall stories to my friend of crazy things we did, and she will not remember them until I remind her, sometimes I think my issue is I don't forget, I can almost recall the feelings to this day.

I remember walking to the bus stop and having such anxiety that I would cough and cough and eventually throw up, there are good memories but not all of them.
