I have been struggling with just the same issues. I've always felt so off because as soon as someone leaves it's like they are gone from my memory completely. I don't have one single memory of my father who died when I was 12 and I feel like there's something missing in my life - my past. It makes me feel so depressed though to be this way - with aphantasia and SDAM. I feel like there is no richness in my life, no color or joy because there's never anything to hold onto. Big moments in my life that other people always say you'll never forget, I forget, like the birth of my children or my wedding. How do others cope with this going through life with no backwards connection?
