..What's wrong with my head?!


Question: ..What's wrong with my head?
To sum this up, I have trouble remembering my past. No, I didn't have some accident that made me lose my memory, I know this. I have trouble remembering my childhood, years 5-8. I don't remember ANYTHING from that time, I'm 15 right now. I also have trouble telling real memories from false, if that makes any sense. I have people, apparently "made-up" inside of my head, there are 4 of them. I'm not sure where they came from, but they aren't like "imaginary Friends" Those things, get mixed up in my memories, they make me have trouble telling the real memories from the false. Even if the memories did actually happen, I have trouble telling what really happened, and what didn't. Yes, I will answer this first, because this is commonly asked to me when I tell people about this, I do have a social life, I do have a close-knit group of friends, and I have people that love and care about me. So why do I act this way, any ideas?
...Can you try to keep the answers positive, I already know I can be a bit insane at times, but it's just me, I guess.

Answers:

Relax, Many people only remember things that they thought were important to them. I'm the same way, as a professional geologist I meet literally hundreds of people every year. Yet, only those that made an impression on me remain in my mind.

There's probably nothing wrong with you, you sound like me and a bunch of people I know.

Now, when you've had traumatic or very positive experiences, don't you remember those. For if you do, then you're fine. The human brain is a very complex machine and it files, deletes, and reorganizes your life as it sees fit. I know that you can deal with it.



I don't think there's something wrong with you. I don't remember those years either. maybe some birthday, which i've seen on home movies. Nothing more.
It's not a big deal really. I wouldn't worry.



Sounds pretty normal to me. Stop worrying about it!



you shouldn't care all you did when you were 5 was poop and eat it
