I sometimes question if my memories are even real… or if I’m missing any.
Like I feel like there are hidden traumas that got wiped by someone, like… trauma that’s even worse than those that I currently remember, or I wonder if the happy memories are perhaps implanted by someone to try to cover up trauma.
I often wonder if I really am me, what if this is all fabricated, what if my name isn’t actually ■■■ and I wasn’t actually born in ■■■■.
Do y’all even trust your current memories? Do you trust that you are who your memories say you are?
P.S. Oh btw, in the past year, I learned about ECT, electro-convulsive therapy that’s used in some cases of severe depression, and one of the side effects is that it apparantly randonly deletes some of your memories… so its partially already here… terrifying…
A medical lab controlled case of Rabies, where they make sure it doesn’t actually kill you, would erase all your memories.
No selective memories to erase though, more like just wiping the slate clean, and you’d have to learn to walk, talk, and wipe your ass again.
Highly not recommended, but I bet that’s been secretly tried more than once…
They can‘t make sure it doesn’t kill you or control it. Rabies is essentially fatal. However it would certainly take your memories in death.
There have been a very rare few survivors of it. Very rare indeed, but yeah the survivors ended up losing all their memory.
rabies survivors also have permanent brain damage, memories is a least of thier problems. it would be something like inducing alzheimers, or dementia like symptoms.
