It never really hit me how bad my memory is until a couple years ago, when I had dinner with my dad and some of his friends. My dad started reminiscing for 20 minutes about a trip we took ~5 years prior. I was in a few pictures from the trip, so I know I was there, but I don't remember it. It was deeply unsettling listening to all of the events that happened with zero memory of them. I have ADHD and anxiety, which my counselor said both contribute to memory loss like that. I've made my peace with it now, so I'm ok. I can rewatch movies and shows fairly often at least. :)
