Have any of you experienced repressed memories of events from the past? I mean forgetting the event immediately after happening, then many years later remembering it?

Hey Guest,
As you know, censorship around the world has been ramping up at an alarming pace. The UK and OFCOM has singled out this community and have been focusing its censorship efforts here. It takes a good amount of resources to maintain the infrastructure for our community and to resist this censorship. We would appreciate any and all donations.

I have personally experienced repressed memories. I don't any more, but when I was a child I also experienced missing time. I think there was some real disassociation going on. Some people at my high school noticed and knew I was crazy. I didn't think about it for years but after my last breakdown a year ago the memories came flooding back to me. I remember everything now.
It's something that my brain used to do when I was a kid. I don't remember things correctly; I've got false memories. I can separate them from the real ones, thank goodness.

Did you remember details of an event, then some time went by, and then remember more details of the event?

Yes. Some memories I forgot entirely. Actually most of them I forgot entirely that they happened, then remembered YEARS later. Some memories I forgot pieces and then remembered later.
Mostly I forgot everything entirely and was able to remember spontaneously later. Weird shit.

I started remembering mostly extremely negative events when I was 36, 17 years ago. Horrible things. I think I've remembered everything, but I have thought that many times in the past and was wrong. I don't get anger or other emotions most of the time now like I did in the past.

Ugh, yes god.
Also this. Sometimes it's completely forgotten and I reexperience/remember all at once, other times it's bits and the rest later, or I'll completely misremember something - then something will trigger it and I'll realize I only remembered pretty much what I "wanted" to see if that makes sense

That's crazy, the same thing for me. I started remembering things from when I was a kid/teenager at 33. It's been a year but I think I am not done remembering. It's possible I am but I can't be sure.
It's cool to meet someone who has experienced the same thing. Remembering was a severe crisis and I had to be hospitalized. It was crazy. I'm curious what it was like for you.
I hope that you have been able to heal at least somewhat from what you remember. Children are very vulnerable to disassociation as I understand. I am sorry that it happened to you. It's a scary thing to have your brain protect you from damage that severe. It is horrible.
