How are you coping at the moment, have you managed to work out a routine? I keep a diary/calendar on the wall to keep track of happening from day to day. Otherwise, do you have any photo albums etc that could jog your memory? If you take an occasional look at them, you may find things come back over time. It may be an idea to start new hobbies and try to look forward as well - anything to reduce the anxiety. I hope this helps. Take care.

I’ve had my amnesia for 28 years now. One goes through a lot of life events in that period of time. Mine was from being struck by a car while walking in a crosswalk. I was told that I was thrown straight up about 30 feet and landed on my head. I was a very happy 40 year old reading teacher when I was hit. When I woke up about 20 minutes later, I thought it was another day and time and that Lincoln was the President. I did know my name and recognized my husband, but thought he looked funny because he was now bald. I did not know my children who were 13 and 17, but I thought I had two babies. I didn’t know them at all. The hardest thing to do was pretend I knew everything that didn’t so I didn’t scare my family. I couldn’t read or remember I could barely talk. I was in terrible pain all over from the accident. Horrible pain from head, neck, back. Emotional pain from losing my whole life was the worst.
I can’t talk too much more right now. It hurts to think about all that. Things go get better! Life is very good now. Didn’t get it all back. Never worked again but I’m happy and family is intact and well. 9 years of physical therapy and 3 years of acquired brain injury program in CA helped enormously. Good luck. It will get better. Still have. It’s types of amnesia. Will talk later.

Lets be honest its not that bad, I mean it is bad but at least you’re still alive and in a comfortable 1st world country. Ive lost my whole life before my accident, I suffer with dissociative seizures because of it aswell . Ive accepted it and have to keep moving. I have a house and bills to pay. Once i get medically discharged from the army, i am literally screwed and wont be able too get a job. Even with my situation I still see the positives because no matter what happens to me, my life will never be truly hard in a 1st world country. No one is . A 100 years back it was a hard life. People are weak now, we have too much

My last comment might of made me sound of a d*** . But my point is you keep moving! If you can’t run, walk . If you can’t walk , crawl. But whatever you do don’t stop moving, stay positive and laugh at all you’re problems (but don’t ignore them! Solve them) . Remember be happy you still have the chance to make new memories
