Memory loss from deep depression and trauma doesnïżœïżœïżœt get talked about enough. People think itâs just sadness or being stuck in your head, but it goes way deeper than that. You forget conversations, names, whole chunks of your lifeânot because you didnât care, but because you were in survival mode. When youâre overwhelmed and just trying to get through each day, your brain isnât focused on making memories, itâs focused on keeping you going. And nobody really acknowledges that part. Healing isnât just about emotionsâitâs about piecing yourself back together, including parts of you that you donât even remember losing.
Nobody talks about the stage of grief where you can't even talk about it to anyone anymore because everyone expects you to be getting over it but it still runs through your mind everyday.
