What are some things I could do to help me remember my childhood?

That’s so sad - That age range is usually full of our best memories… was it a traumatic period of your life? Do you have sisters and brothers you shared those times with? What about parents? People you can talk to to help jog your memory?

Ask people to tell you stories and look at pictures. I also can’t remember most of my childhood. I think it’s something to do with personality. I’ve always been very introverted and very inside my own head, so I probably was then too. I don’t think it’s necesarily anything traumatic that happened.

Well at age 5 something did happen but I wud rather not make it public. I have a brother but he doesn’t remember much cuz he was 3 yrs under me, I don’t speak to my dad and my mom has memory issues, I’m just at a loss as to wat to do

Try to find out what school you went to - maybe you can locate others who were there in your age group.. the internet is amazing for finding people from old schools esp facebook. Even locating some highschool chums may help, if they went to the same grade school as you when you were 9. Have you travelled around your old neighborhoods?

I know wat school I went to, and my old neighborhood where I wud have been when I was that age, none of the same ppl r thr. None of the same ppl I went to grade school with I didn’t attend any other scholl with them cuz we moved from that village

pictures maybe?

UP2NOGOOD, as pinkpearl said, that is almost certainly due to trauma, which you sort of confirmed. DO NOT go into details here. No one here is qualified to help. What you probably need is a therapist to help you. You may or may not ever remember details, but any trauma that was powerful enough to affect your memory like that is probably going to impact your life in ways that are not the most pleasant. For instance you may find yourself having difficulties with relationships, or trust issues, or some other issues. Good Luck!! Jim

Thx

Look at Photos or Medatate?

I think old photos, scrapbooks or anything of that nature might help. Your mom might not have memory but she may have saved some of those things. You could also try hypnosis but as Bimjob stated if something that traumatic happened you might want to seek some professional help working through it.
