If I totally forget everything maybe I wouldn’t care if I had voices or I might not even have them as long as people convince me to do bodybuilding I’d have to learn it all again but I wouldn’t give a ■■■■ about anything is this possible?

Nah you don’t want amnesia. Your conscious mind wouldn’t remember, but the rest of you still would, like your body and unconscious mind, or your physiological self. If you actually attempted to suppress your own memories. What would happen is that you would be constantly haunted by it, wondering why you have x y and z issues, and then you would become obsessed with figuring it out, until you would come full circle. Might as well spare yourself from the unnecessary pain of all that, when all roads lead to Rome.
I always freak out when I blocked memories as want to know what I blocked. Not sure you can totally block memories as the brain always remembers on some level. To many people will try to make you remember anyway. My advice is you feel better when you talk about your problems. It’s a long process in therapy to really get to the heart of things. But really helps.
I’d probably want amnesia too. but I’d lose my good memories that help keep me alive. moreover I would probably just end up doing all the stupid things again, somewhat like a cursed fate. so even if I forgot my bad / psychotic-triggering memories, I’d probably just naively create new ones.
I’ve sometimes wondered if I got ECT it would erase my memory of all my previous life. I’m getting to the age that it scares me when I forget anything. I need something that improves my memory, not that impairs it.
