I got some pretty bad memory loss from when I had depression, now that I'm better I'm making the most of it by rewatching Full Metal!
I had moderate depression for at least 3 years before I finally ended up breaking down and getting help. After some time I've got help and I've been feeling way better. Partway through that recovery I learned that memory loss is a symptom of depression. Well it's sad I can't remember important events I get to watch all these shows again that I barely remember anymore but I know were good. And I learned that my already obnoxious optimism gets even worse now that I'm doing better.
I'm 16 episodes in and I'm already shocked at how much things have moved. Some of the events I thought happened later on happened really early on. I'm getting to the point where I only know a few plot points and then everything else is new.
Lastly I just gotta say, if you ever at all feel like you're in a situation where you need help or things feel wrong make sure you reach out. Part of why I struggled for so long is that I didn't say anything. Being a guy I was constantly told I needed to tough it out and so I did, but it wasn't great. Unfortunately I get told that a lot and can really struggle to talk to people about sensitive things because of that. Also, you don't need to struggling in the way others depict it. What I mean is not all depression is stuff like self harm, panic attacks, or clearly wrong things. I kept chugging along because even though I felt down, i wasn't showing symptoms people normally do.
Sorry for the rant, I just felt the need to disclose this great discovery of mine and kept yapping. I'm willing to answer questions about my experience if you want but I figured I don't need to overshare too much on a Reddit post that people didn't ask for.
