A man that completely lost his memory

There are some things in everyone's life they'd like to forget, but I'd rather not lose all the good things along with the bad. How horrible to bbe lost that way! Anyone could try to re-invent themselves (Madonna does it almost annually), ut that's not the same as not knowing about what came before last week! I'll continue to put the unpleasant at the end of the list, and continue to enjoy every moment of the good.

That's got to be so scary for the guy. I'm glad his family found him, at least. I know I would discover that I was a friend and a younger sister, as well as a librarian. But I'm not sure what else I would "discover". I know a lot of things would likely be lost permanently, like several places I go to online that none of my irl friends frequent (which would be a shame, but minor, so oh well).

Oh how terriable for this man.Glad his family found him. I hope he will regain his memory someday I have heard of this happening to people before, they had accidents and injured their heads and got amniesia, and forgot everything.I would think how awful that would be, when your family found you and you had to learn to know them all over again. At first it would be like being with strangers..

Wow..I can't imagine losing my memory like that. Granted there are some things I'd like to forget (lol) but to forget everything in your past and not even know your family? That would be a nightmare. Can you imagine how his family feels? That has got to be really hard.:(

This happens occasionally when someone for whatever reason looses their memory. Sometimes it lasts for a significant time and others just a short time. I can only immagine what it must feel like to wake up one day and not know who you are or anyone around you. It would have to be an extremely scarry feeling. I would also think the trying to find out part would also be frightening. Where do you start? What do you look for? What if when you wake or remember you are someone bad? I would think all of these thoughts would have to go through a persons head. It would be like being lost in your own body.

Hi maximax8! Oh that must feel horrible losing all of your memory. I would be feeling so lost, sad and frustrated if that happens to me. It would also be devastating for his family seeing him that way and that he does not even recognize them. It must be very hard for all of them. I hope that somehow he will regain his memory back.
Take care and God Bless!

This man was one of the lucky ones. I have heard of several people completely losing their memories this way, and never ever knowing who they had been in their previous years, nor how old they are. Some have disappeared from the face of the earth suffering complete memory loss. It must be so harrowing, not only for them, but for their families as well. As I said... this man was fairly lucky in that he remembered, or was able to place a familiarity with this particular street, for he found those who cared for him again. Ok... he'll never know what he did in his previous twenty five years, but I wonder if they actually willingly block out their past for whatever reason. I know a friend who has lost eleven years of their life because they shut it out, through those years being a nasty experience. Now, they want to remember, but can't. It must be a case of the subconcious clearing itself, I think.

I'm glad to hear this man could at least find those who cared for him, and begin to rebuild his life. Thank you for sharing, my friend and Brightest Blessings. xx
