Imagine having amnesia for most your youth and not knowing it? You know you grew up with out your parents there, but you don’t really know why.  All you do know is that you’ve made the best of what you got handed down,  from which ever set of foster parents/institutional career’s that were there raising you. What’s your view on amnesia?

My experience of amnesia (through repressed memories) is that it affects your identity and who you are as a person. It affects your perceptions and your inter personal relationships, and has an effects on how you view yourself whether it be momentarily forgotten or totally forgotten.

Memory is the key to our growth as humans it builds and constructs our identities. Think of riding a bike for instance or more taken for granted things like using our hands, or even learning to drive! Imagine learned things such as riding a bike was forgotten.. Does anyone one else notice the connection between memory and self. How does Amnesia impact you?.
