Is it normal i can't remember my childhood?

I don't have many childhood memories and I find it difficult to remember my childhood. I'm young so I should remember. I think it might be because I have bad derealization, especially when I'm stressed. And I was very stressed as a child. So maybe I had bad derealization a lot of the time and that's why I can't remember things. Thoughts?

Is It Normal?

    I'm the same way. I think I repressed most of my childhood as I didn't have a great time. Probably for the best though as I wouldn't want to relive most of it.

      Yeah sometimes I worry that something REALLY bad happened when I was a child and I can't remember it.

        I can't say I have that problem as I know exactly why I don't remember it. My strongest memory is when I found out my dad died but the years before and after that kind of blur together.

        I wouldn't worry about it too much though unless you have some serious issues that come from your past. The way I see it the past is the past, you just have to move on and make the best out of whatever situation you're given.

    You seem to already know why you don't remember any of your childhood. When your body is stressed it will intentionally make you forget those stressful times. There is a lot of scientific proof of this. I don't remember a lot either :/ It really sucks. I am always stressed. Sometimes I wonder if I am going to slowly forget everything!
