I too have complete memory loss. I remember nothing of my childhood, teenage years or early adult hood. Important events as a wedding, the birth of my child are just a few of the things I do not remember.

For years it has bothered me and I wanted answers. But now with the diagnosis and the therapy and medications I am slowly getting "some" memories back.

The thing that has kept me sane from all this is something my therapist said.

"Your mind is protecting itself from something. If and when your mind is capable of handling and processing the information you will remember. If you never recall then what have you lost?"

That really brought the entire condition into focus. It also helped me stop obcessing over the loss of information/memory. It is however, very upsetting and I know exactly how unnerving it can be.
