My question is this: what do you remember from before the depression? In discussing things with my counsellor, I came to the realization that I don't seem to remember any feelings from before I became depressed. I can remember things I did, it's not amnesia. And for certain things I can remember what I said, or was said to me. But I can't remember how I felt prior to about two years ago. Even things I know must have been very emotional, like my wedding, or the birth of my sons, don't have any feelings attached. I remember the event, but not being happy, or excited, or stressed. The same goes for sad moments too. I remember crying when I received news of my mother passing away, so I know I was sad, but I don't remember the actual feeling.
The negative feelings of the last two years seem to have masked all memory of everything before. Has anyone else experienced this? Was it temporary? I'm hoping it will get better as my symptoms improve, but some reassurance would be nice.
