Im so sad to be writing this...

A friend of ours Jay woke up Tuesday morning thinking it was 17th March 2004, he doesn't know his Fiancée who he's supposed to be marrying in 6 weeks time. He thinks hes 22 and not 30 and doesn't even know the town he lives in

Over the last few days he's had to come to terms with finding out that his dad is dead and his best-friend committed suicide last month.

The doctors have said that stress has caused it and his memory will come back when it's ready to and there's nothing anyone can do, it could be days or years for things to come back to him.

So he's missing 8 years of his life and is having to learn things on a daily basis. Like today he saw his phone and couldn't understand how it works with no buttons.

Does anyone have experience of this? x

I have no experience of this so can't imagine what you are all going through but it must be so scary and confusing, I hope he regains his memory quickly. x

oh wow how scary!!!! I didn't know something like that was possible without physical trauma...it's incredible how the brain will do something like that due to a psychological trauma

I'll keep him in my prayers and thoughts

Oh gosh thats so sad and scary. I hope he manages to find the puzzle pieces and feels better soon. xx

Oh my - that's awful! I hope he starts to make progress soon.

But if it's any consolation this happened to one of my DH's best friends 4/5 years ago - he thought he was in the 80's (before both of his marriages) - he's about 95% recovered now but still doesn't remember some things. Photos & videos have helped him (DH had lots).

General consensus among professionals & friends/ family is that it was caused by stress - his business was going through a tough period (recently sold for a pittance), his father had just died & there were other issues with other family members.
