Realized a lot of what I remember is a hallucination

I was talking to my mom about my childhood and what I remember and it turns out at least a lot of my teenage years were hallucinations and not true at all… This fact makes me really upset… How much of my life is a lie and how much is true… Am I in reality now? This sucks

Im really sorry. I hate this feeling. Its hard to tell when someone is trying to make me question my memory or if my memory really is that bad. I feel you.

My therapist also told me that age changes tour memory anyway

@Moon I believe my mom she wouldn’t fabricate the fact I never had migraines as a kid and didn’t get sick a lot… She wouldn’t tell me none of this happened unless it didn’t happen

I also feel like this I got hospitalized in 2020 however I was already hearing people talking about me in 2017 it’s just that it was very mild. I feel like an unreliable narrator.

@Moon I get that… I just find it easier to believe my mom and husband than to feel like I’m drowning in not knowing

I will say it’s possible that you’re mom also just doesn’t remember your teenage years very well. My mom and I have had instances where she or I will reminisce about something that the other just doesn’t remember at all.
