Hi, I’m a 16 year old male and I experience some pretty bad memory loss. I haven’t experienced any head trauma and while I do have depression it’s too serious to just be me being forgetful. My friends have noticed that they bring up the same thing multiple times and i always react as if it’s the first time hearing it because it is. And I forget so much important information. I was at my school for two years and I still didn’t know my schedule or the layout of it making me late to a lot of classes. 

I don’t even remember anything before the age of 8. The earliest thing I can remember is a sexual incident with a cousin of mine, I don’t know how old I was at the time but we were both really young and I don’t feel very traumatized by it though I cannot enter that room. I’ve also been through some separate trauma and I’m still dealing with some of it at home. 

It’s really hard for me to stay in the moment and keep a train of thought. Sometimes all I can remember is what’s happening right then. 

I’ve never had any brain injuries or physical issues, never been hospitalized for any injuries so I was wondering if this could be related to mental health? Is this normal? I just can’t remember anything anymore. Does anyone have any advice?
