Is it normal to not be able to remember any of your past

Hi all. I recently suffered a nervous breakdown and have been depressed since then. I am on medication and slowly trying to find my way back but somehow cannot remember anything from my past and about my mother who passed 6 years ago. I know i was close to my mother but cannot remember anything about her or even about times spent with my wife or friends. Also i dont really feel anything for anybody at all.

I have a feeling that i have had this issue for a long time and that i have been living in my head for most of it. Is this normal or am i in serious trouble

    If this is true you have a serious problem and might even need an MRI.

    You need to talk to a professional counselor.
    Not being mean....but you do.
    It could be whatever meds you are taking, but still
    You need to talk to a professional

    You may be subconsciously blocking these memories out for a reason you may not even know. As for the apathetic feeling, many people with depression go through this. It could be a result from the emotionally draining nervous breakdown.

    Also, it is possible that you might have Repressed Memory Syndrome. Or, this could be due to the medication. I would see a therapist who specialises in PTSD, just to be a the safe side. If this is because of the medication, you might be able to charge them with a lawsuit.

    Try MRI anyway. There's a dye they use that can pick up better and it makes the scan more crisp. However, keep in mind, that in the US they still use some dyes that are consider to be dangerous and these dyes in question have been banned from use in the EU. These dyes also have to go through IV. I didn't get this this done because, of my fear of needs. It is optional.
