And this is highly studied and highly recognized.

There's differences between the two.

But a lot of people actually think when you really hone in on repressed memories, they think it's like a variation of disassociative amnesia.

Which there's not a lot of debate on whether or not disassociative amnesia exists or not.

So people are just saying this seems like a different, almost like a fragment of that.

This debate on whether or not repressed memories are real was so big that it was dubbed the memory wars.

Doctors from both sides wrote paper after paper to disprove the other party.

And in the end, nobody comes to a freaking agreement.

But regardless of what the doctors are arguing, and a lot of people have experiences like firsthand accounts of recovering repressed memories.

One netizen writes, for me, it always starts with like a feeling.

It feels like something is trying to get my attention, but I don't know what.

I just know that I'm forgetting something important.

That's like the feeling that you have in the beginning.

Like I keep I don't know what it is.

It's just bothering you.

That could last for weeks and then I'll get an image.

Usually it's a blip of something.

And it lingers very unsettling for a few days, a few weeks, whatever.

And then something happens and then I suddenly will remember.

And with that memory, it's not even just like the memory I remember.
