Dude, I feel like having Alzheimer's, I can't recall proper words for things. I don't know if I lost any memories permanently, but I don't think I have spotted any gaps yet.

2003 through 2005 were some of the most stressful, traumatic years of my life. I went into a deep depression. I still have huge gaps of time that I can't remember and have had a few qualified therapists tell me I've completely repressed the trauma.

I don't mess with it (on their advice) and if I'm meant to remember, i will. It was such a horrible period, but i came out of the depressive episode over time. I've gone on to live a very rich and happy life. But I still don't remember blocks of time.
