Memory loss from depression and trauma is so underrated. Like, I did not forget on purpose, but my brain just decided to hit delete on random conversations, days, and sometimes an entire phase of my life.
People talk about sadness, crying, and anxiety, but no one really talks about how your memory just starts glitching. You re-read chats like, "Did I really say that?" You forget things you should remember, and it's not even in a funny, "Oh, I'm grateful I don't remember," way. It's more like, "Why do I feel like my brain is constantly buffering?"
And the worst part is, you start questioning yourself, like, "Am I overreacting? Did it actually happen? Was it even that bad?" Because when your memory goes away, your sense of reality kind of goes with it.
But yeah, sure. Let's keep pretending healing is all about drinking water, journaling, and going for a walk..
the girls lost their individual styles, they lost their individual personalities, lost their unique colors. LIKE WHY IS EVERYTHING PINK AND WHY IS EVERYONE SUDDENLY FEMININE?? 😭
