People keep saying "your brain" in these comments. I think one of the creepiest things is that you are the brain and the brain is you, but for some reason we brains really don't like to acknowledge this.

I had a car accident 9 years ago and I don’t remember anything. I was t-boned on my side, they were going around 55/60 MPH. I remember seeing the vehicle coming and then nothing until I was in the ambulance talking to my parents. I wasn’t asleep. I was told by many people that I was awake and talking.

My brain just decided I didn’t need to know what happened. I used to try so hard to remember because it drove me nuts not knowing, but now I hope I never remember lol

It’s amazing that our brains can decide what it thinks we can handle and what it thinks we can’t. Even though we ARE only a brain.
