If there was a drug that erase all your memory would you take?

[LukaParrot]

You would still keep your knowledge but all memories would be lost, even family. You wouldnt recognize anyone.

 

[ocheeva]

Only the traumatic ones that have contributed to making me a broken person.

 

[idelttoilfsadness21]

nope... it'll find itself way back. This has happened in most anime I've watched with this plot, and it never goes well... What's hidden, always comes back, and same with people, the mind may forget, but the soul never vanishes to forget its true form, like water memory.... It always comes back to tis original form.

 

[EvisceratedJester]

Nope. My life has never been bad enough to warrant me desiring something like that, plus I have plenty of good memories I would like the be able to look back on and my bad past experiences still probably play an important role in my development as a person.

 

[Salting the wounds]

I had problems with drugs that made me lose years of memory, it's the worst thing that has ever happened to me

 

[Peter Skellern]

There was a film re that with Jim Carrey I believe?

 

[ijustwishtodie]

No. I'll just regain these memories anyway. I was indoctrinated once and still managed to come to the conclusions that I have. What's to say that it won't happen again?

 

[ma0]

So basically SN?

 

[FuneralCry]

I just want the option to erase my existence so it's like I never suffered at all, I'd never wish to be burdened with this existence under any circumstances, just being conscious is such a futile, torturous burden to me that I'd never wish for. I just want it to be all gone and forgotten about for me, I have no interest in suffering in this existence, I see no point to it either and I see existing as completely undesirable in every way possible, being able to erase my existence would solve everything for me, it's all I hope for, I just want peace from this existence I always saw as the most terrible, tragic mistake.

 

[SoulWhisperer]

If I forget that then I'd just forget about how shitty my parents are, and I took years to realise the pain they've caused. I don't want to go over this twice, there's no benefit from just re-discovering how everything is shit for me. I'd just put myself at risk more and gain nothing out of it...

 

[baconbandit]

Probably not.

 

[crocune]

if there was a drug that would erase my existence i would take

 

[Prism]

Probably not, I don't really see how doing so would solve any problems for me. It might just create new ones. Although it would be interesting to see if I would still feel depressed or not with a clean slate of a mind.

 

[rec]

At first, I thought yes because I would forget how shitty everyone has been. I would forget about how shit everything is.

However, I would soon learn again that people are evil. It would be worse to forget because I would be in a very vulnerable position. People take advantage of that. I would be opening myself up for even more abuse.

 

[Gruffin]

I don't see why anyone here who's presumably suicidal wouldn't try it. I'd be curious to see whether the marks life traumas leave on the psyche resolve themselves if the memories are gone or if the clean slate would still leave you wanting to peace out afterwards

 

[divinemistress36]

i have memory loss. Your body still remembers the trauma even if your mind doesnt
