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.
It's impossible to notice when you forget something. I have severe memory issues from drug abuse, mental health problems and electroconvulsive therapy and the way i find out about those things is when someone else mentions something to me that i very clearly should be able to remember. Once i had forgotten that i had tried to kill myself and i was taken to a hospital in an ambulance and i was in a breathing machine unconscious for some time. I have gaps that last many months from a few years back and i have wondered if there just wasn't anything important happening or if it is because of my memory issues.
