suppressed memories my doctor told me that just because I can't remember ,it is still affecting me, my subconscious still remembers and it affects me,was bad enough remembering my abuse at age 11 and I DON'T KNOW IF i could handle remembering any thing else of earlier years ,suppose to make another appointment for this been 3 weeks and I haven't yet guess that subconscious memory wont let me huh? I remember it was my grandfather and its been 20 years the older you get it still never stops the flash backs still mess me up ,but counseling has helped ,so I WILL MAKE THAT APPOINTMENT. GOOD LUCK hon if I'D OF BEEN ABLE TO GET HELP when I was a lot younger I REALLY BELIEVE i could of been helped I ,have ,depression,anxiety ,panic attacks, obsessive compulsive disorder and poss traumatic disorder,they should put these abusers away and never let them out they destroy a persons life forever mentally.found out after we all grew up he abused 3 of my other cousins no one ever told if the first person would of told then he could of been stopped and it wouldn't of happen to me, my life could of been a lot better but I'LL NEVER KNOW , WISH AND HOPE THEY TELL THESE DAYS IT COULD SAVE ANOTHER IF THEY TELL.

I was abused, and am under the care of a Dr. as well. I have bits and pieces of memories, like a puzzle I'm trying to put together. My Dr. and I agreed not to push for the memories because it's possible that I'm not ready to deal with whatever really happened. I was young and it affects me still at 33. Good luck and think carefully with your Dr. before digging for the truth.

I was told later in life that I had been molested by a grandfather of my dads ex-girlfriend, I never remembered it. I think I was about 3 or 4, I think when you go thru tramatic experiences like that your brain helps you "forget" it as a way to cope, because I do have other happy memories during that time. I don't think I would want to go under hypnosis or anything to try to remember, why would I???

I wish I couldnt remember. I guess if you can't remember then it shouldn't be anything to worry about but I guess you should be asking your doctor these questions
