    I had amnesia when I was 7, all I remember is being on the swing at the park with my friend – then I was staring at a white ceiling in a hospital bed.. My friend said I had fell back off the swing and got up asking who he was and where were we etc, he took me home and my mum told me that I didn't even know who she or I was… I don't remember much of the fall other than feeling my weight slip and I don't remember anything in between swing and hospital… Happened in the blink of an eye from my perspective and always kinda creeps me out when I think back on it.

    Amnesia. Simply disconnect with partially…. People only based upon what has happened those particular person…. But those of happened or those of events were has been planted….

    Amnesia: To forget something you did. The disorder is generally diagnosed by spouses, who remember something that you didn’t do.

    Not being able to make new memories is much worse than forgetting old memories. The former means u can't do daily activities and everyday someone has to repeat to u who is who and what you've done recently.

    I had anterograde at age 9 (1980) after riding my bike down 4 concrete stairs at a school and flipping over the handlebars. I was alone and it was later found out I laid there for nearly 15 minutes before popping up and heading home (luckily remembering where home was). Amnesia was discovered almost immediately after I tried to put my bike away and asked about a large cut on my arm saying the same thing literally 4 times. It took about 3 weeks to remember the ride home, but still don’t remember the actual accident.
