Someone on a forum that I browse posted something in regards to not remembered/partially remembered traumatic events. "I have gaps, the first gap is like 4 days long. I can remember the tiniest snippets in those 4 days, and I mean tiny - they must have been seconds long, the shortest impressions of things, feelings."
I want to thank them for typing pretty much how I feel about my memories... a lot of them, even the non-traumatic ones. Saying "I have a bad memory" doesn't really describe it, but that quote does
A good example of this is a conversation I had with one of my friends back in 08. He was staying the night and we were up until sometime past 4 AM just talking. The most I can remember is eating sandwiches and some of the convo of when I told him a secret. That's it. The whole thing was HOURS long and evolved but that is all I can really remember.
I don't even want to go into the bad years of my life because it's the same thing there. I just recall snippets and impressions, but not whole pieces. I call them "two second memories".
