Is it normal to have signs of amnesia with post traumatic stress disorder?

Answer I am speaking from personal experience, but I do indeed believe signs of amnesia exist with PTSD. I was involved in a drive-by shooting and was shot in the back on 4.3.93. I was age 25 then and the bullet is lodged in my lung.At that time to present, I have noticed I lose my train of thought when speaking to some one and this started back then.

I have been in counseling off and on for 14 years, but I still find myself forgetting what I was trying to say. I hope that helps a little.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
