Memory loss and autism?

glowing_cat

Hi everyone! 

Has anyone suffered memory loss? What did you do to receive treatment? 

I have experienced significant memory loss over a two-year period and it's been a difficult process trying to get the right help. I'm sorting out my physical health and I have come to realise I am suffering many symptoms of stress-induced exhaustion disorder and memory loss, which sadly entails not remembering parts of my life. I'm getting flashbacks and I've decided to act on them to find out who I am, reconnect with people I know as I live in social isolation, and become more active again.

I have been referred to see a psychologist and to receive residential support.

After having done some research on mental health, I realise I have many symptoms of autism and I will ask to have that looked into.

Has anyone had experience of full recovery with memory loss?

Have a great day!

  • Stress can inhibit creating memories. I have periods of time that I have only hazy memories of. I don't think the memories are there to retrieve.

    I don't know if stress now can make it hard to remember things you used to get able to remember, which is what I think you are saying you have 

    It would be wise to discuss with your GP.
