For example, I cannot recall much of anything about my life prior to joining the Army, which was only 4 years ago. I can only remember a handful of small events at most, and remember nobody (even apparently a girl I had dated?) that I knew before if they are not currently in my life. I know extreme stress can cause temporary loss of memory and such, but is it even medically possible to have been stressed to the point of permanent memory loss? Or is there other factors that I’m not seeing that could contribute to it?
