For context: I’m a young adult, I don’t think I have any serious brain issues yet.
But I’ve recently been just trying to remember the past and although its kinda tragic, there are very interesting moments and I want to keep these memories forever.
But brains aren’t perfect, and I’m just so scared.
Even re-reading the events from a journal woudn’t exactly be the same as remembering it.
Idk, I’m kinda just obsessed with some memories for some reason. Don’t wanna let go of it. Having this “backstory” (for lack of a better term), is what drives me forward, without those memories, like if I get a concussion and forgot everything, I wouldn’t really be… well… “me” anymore, and the thought of that is terrifying.
Ever since my 2nd open heart surgery, I feel as though my memories from before then are kinda mushy and since then I don’t know whether my memory formation would be considered normal, so yeah I am worried, too.
I’m in my mid-20s and wonder what’s the issue with my brain. It’s not such a big issue I need to be checked out, but I’m still curious. Not seeing whether my state health insurance would cover having my brain scanned and tested curious, but curious nonetheless.
I have foggy memories I would love to remember whether they’re true or not, but I just don’t know where to begin. I mean, I think I went on a road trip with my brother’s friends family out of city, but I don’t fully remember whether that actually happened or not. Just the feint potential memory of a slanted white basement ceiling with a while pillar holding it up, sunny day, and potentially walking on a TLC desperate road with my brother and his friend. I would ask the friends parents, but I’m not sure they’d remember and it would be kinda awkward to just ask out of the blue since I have zero contact with them.
