Question - (2 September 2011) 2 Answers - (Newest, 3 September 2011)
A female United States age 30-35, anonymous writes:

Ok from the beginning. I met my first love after school at a hangout spot. He joked with me and sooner or later he was asking me for my number online. We exchanged numbers and began talking. Throughout those 4 months we both learned hat we were pretty much the same. We lived in the same neighborhood..Our birthdays are 2 days apart and we just hit it off. My first incident or problem in the relationship was a girl told me he and her dated. She didn't know that I had been talking to him so I just knew it was true. Anyway I believed his story and we moved on.(Should've never done that).So our relationship grew into this obsessing thing we texted each other ever second of the day we wanted to know everything about each other.. What can I say were both scorpios..But after 6 months I wanted something more not this in-exclusive friendship (and i had told him no from the beginning he wanted to date after a month of getting o know each other) So e began dating last august. And when your in high school its best to keep your business on the hush and we did that. But when I started to fall hard for him I wanted something more...So I said lets be exclusive he agreed but wouldn't claim me at all. People actually thought I was lying which stated more drama with his ex and people period. Long story short we dated for a year and broke up just last month because we had broken up and got back together all because he never wanted to claim me. He'd tell me he was in love and I believed him he'd buy me things our parents knew but he would never be man enough to stand up to drama. So the break up was ugly I blame myself for that...I know I can be hurtful...But it was like I either make myself hate him because Every-time we've broken up(A total of 4 times) we've gotten back together we have a special connection.. But My ex was going through some things and I slapped that in his face. He got kicked off the football team this year(Its his senior year) and the guy is amazing football player. But it is his life so on top of me rubbing it in his face making him feel low and him having no way of getting-into college or even having fun this year he fell into a deep dark hole of depression. He was very very depressed and one day he woke up with Dissociative amnesia. He didn't know where he was who people were and completely blocked out his high school years and thought he was 14 and in middle school again. Yesterday I went to go see him he's still his funny old self he just had no clue who I was. I reintroduced my self and It was shocking and allowed to change my view of him. Later on through the night in the hospital some of his friends(People I know also) came and he still couldn't remember anyone. So he started talking to a friend and was asking them questions about me. Like how do I know him and also that I was pretty. He even told his friends to hook him up with me.( I know deep down inside he remembers me somewhere) So my friends and I left late that night and I couldn't believe what just happened. How is his memory gone but he still wants me? and I just began thinking of what he would always tell me which was not to be so mean and that I can't cut him off because what if something happens to him ill regret it. and i did I began to regret being to evil. But then It all came to me that he and I have a connection from God or something because every-time I try to get rid of him he comes back into my life. He'd always get so stressed over me and him. The last time we broke up in June he got himself a girlfriend after 2 days, I took him back and he explained that he did it because he was mad that I kept breaking his heart. So last night I was texting him and he was asking questions trying to remember why we broke up. At the hospital he told me to make sure and text him so we can figure this out. That night he told me he liked me, that me and him should get back together, and that he didn't want to break up just last month. My question is do he and I have a connection? Did I help cause his amnesia? Will he remember these conversations I have with him when his memory comes back? and Deep down inside is he there still memory and all?

I have to post. It might not be what you want to hear. I too suffer from dissociative amnesia i just woke up one day and forgot my whole life. I started being able to keep things in my mind since last august but i dont remember anything before that and i had to relearn everything, who everyone was. I still felt a bond to my family though even though i had no clue who they were so maybe he still feels a bond to you? Anyway this is the bad news maybe it might be different for him but with this sort of amnesia my memory will never come back so i'll never remember the past 20 years of my life but i can gain new memories. The answer to your question, no you didnt cause his amnesia, this sort of amnesia just happens down to stress or depression but its to do with how he feels inside nothing to do with you. And to answer your other questions no he wont remember your conversations and no he will have no memory either its a scary situation to be in but if you want to be there for him then you should but if you dont want to be with him in a relationship sense but as a friend then you have to make this clear too. Sorry for the long post its just a very rare disorder and ive never really heard of anyone else having it x

You afto go along with the doctors. They have the most experience in the subject. Personnally i had a lost of memory twince in my lifetime and something are totally lost, i dont expect any return. My memory blurred out the negative experience kept the good one. But then he has to recover , it mite take years to recover. Five to ten maybe more. I think it is strees related. So he as to recover first.
