I feel like this is the first time my memory has been described correctly. I believe I have SDAM as I can only remember things from my childhood if I've seen a picture of that event within the last 10 years or so. I only have one memory that I can think of that brings back strong emotions (negative emotion) from about 12 years ago. I feel like I'm missing out on being able to retell stories about my childhood as I just don't remember what happened... I don't have a bad short term memory (usually) but, my long term memory continues to get worse and worse. I'm only 27 and as I learn more about Aphantasia and how my brain works, I get more and more worried that I'm going to forget other key moments of my life (wedding day, daughter being born, etc).
