Weird experience

Hello,

I am unsure about posting this question but I have a long explanation based on my experience.

When I was very younger, I remembered I was sitting on the mantle in my grandpa's porch during the afternoon. (It was very beautiful on that day.) Anyway, I watched the sun while I sat on it and I felt like I was sitting there like forever but I felt nothing and just grew up on my own. Also, I didn't remember my two years of childhood during my time. But I was sitting on the mantle all the way since I was very younger to sit there. I knew it's hard to explain but I felt like I was growing up in my two years but didn't remember it at all. I swear to my grandma's grave. Also, I tried to figure it out on my own - Why didn't I remember my two years of childhood while I sat on the mantle? There's no proof until someone can tell or explain based on my experience. I didn't understand why am I feeling that way when I missed my two years of childhood. (Right now, I am 22 yrs old and still in college.)

I appreciate that if someone can explain to me. Thank you.

Same happened to me. my memories were lost due to trauma. Could anyone have hurt you at that age? Sometimes when we experience a traumatic event our brains can put the memory away because it may be too painful to think of. I hope this helps. Talk to your parents and see what happened during those years that u cant recall. Good luck :•]

I'm sorry. What is a mantle?   I have a friend that can not remember her childhood either. Turns out she experienced a terrible moment while being told she was adopted.    Pamela

That's a hard question to answer. There could be many reasons why you can't remember two years of your childhood. You may want to think about therapy because it may help you remember.
