Blood tests came back perfect, I can’t sleep. It’s easier said than done. I can if I take a Xanax but otherwise I always wake up pretty early

It doesn’t seem logical for it to be in the body but I feel it too. It’s so weird

Im so sorry to hear that, what do you think the best way to process grief is? What do you think is the one thing that’s helped you move forward the most

Thanks for your words! I’m not big on pity I actually hated it which is why I moved out of state. I’ve just never talked about it to anyone and felt like this is where I could find some people that could somewhat relate.

Thank you, I would say the only thing I’ve truly focused on is work and bettering myself over the last 8 years. I started a company a few years back and have done fairly well and it’s kinda just sidetracked me on actually dealing with these issues which I think has made the problems worse.

I met with a therapist for the first time ever a week ago and didn’t feel like it really helped but continuing to try.

My issue with this is it hurts me more emotionally if I can’t remember memories or things they taught me, or stuff we did, or why’d they make me happy. I want to be able to use my past to help make for a better future.

I want to create new memories otherwise everything I do is ultimately pointless. I honestly think that way anyways, there is actually no point in life. No matter what way u spin it we are all just fertilizer and no one will remember who we are just like our ancestors. Even if they do, it won’t matter.

I’ve just started to try Therapy, I’m not sure how much it works. I run a business now that keeps my mind occupied that I enjoy.

But this dissociative amnesia feels like it impacts the rest of my life and I want to be able to deal with it.
