How far back can you remember?

[WBA1955]

I can remember being weighed on the scales in Parkes's chemist in Roseville. I remember being in my pram outside old Roseville post office. I remember staying in a caravan in someone's garden in Christchurch in 1958 and the following week staying in another caravan overlooking Mevagissey harbour. I remember a fishing trip from Mevagissey during the same holiday. I remember a lady in a boarding house sharing our table saying between mouthfuls of food, you'll see the lions and the tigers when I told her we were going to circus in 1959. I remember my first day at school in 1960.
My wife says I am mad, but that's a story for another time.

I was born in 61 and remember being in hospital with a serious illness when I was 18 months old, I vividly remember my parents visiting me and taking me out into a sun filled garden.

I remember climbing on a wooden bench in our back garden when I was three years old and my foot going through the wooden slats trapping me. Mum was calling over the fence for our neighbour to help her and he had his hearing aid switched off and couldn't hear her.

I too remember my first day at school, I can see myself being sat at my first ever desk and the little gill opposite me with blond hair and a turquoise dress called Yvonne.

My family marvel at melon term memories.

I have such vivid memories of school days and being a kid and ****ager and of situations, it's like replaying video clips of those times, I can see, smell and feel those moments, same goes for so many Albion matches from the early days for me in the early to late 70's.

My first away game was Blackpool in 1960 I was four. We went on the Friday to Sunday, I remember the boarding house and beach. It was March, we had a seat, all I remember about the game was it was very cold and noisy.

Remember swimming in amniotic fluid just before the open....Remember the face of the Dr that delivered and remember the cute nurse standing to his right....
Then straight away I got hit for nothing. And it's been strange ever since...

I can remember an incident of my mother frantically pulling me out of my cot because she thought I had suffocated as somehow I had pulled a man's hankerchief over my mouth and nose so I would have been no older than two maybe less. Then I can remember shouting across the road to two little kids who decided they did not to play on my side of the street anymore and I was not allowed to go across the road and I remember shouting I don't care I'm 5 tomorrow. And I can also remember my first day at school aged 5 and the teacher Miss O'Hanlon pointing to the sand pit and telling me to go and play while she spoke to my mom. When I looked around my mom had disappeared. I hated the next 11 years.

My first vivid memory is having a street party for the coronation of Queen Elizabeth II in 1953. Plenty of bunting and trestle tables across the street.

I remember having a good stretch and 10 minutes having the womb to myself after my twin brother was born.
Only joking don't remember, but I bet it was good.

I remember my mother dragging me 6 miles to work when I was 3 years old, while I screamed because she just marched with mad eyes (she had schizophrenia). I remember my dad punching my mom in the face and blood running down her face in the rain as they argued outside. I actually feel the rejection from the womb. I have CPTSD (complex post traumatic stress disorder) which consists of emotional flashbacks. PTSD is from an incident such as in a war or a car crash. CPTSD is the result of long term trauma such as child abuse over a long period or even a traumatic emotionally damaging relationship. My memories from those first 3 years of life are dark and as one person put it the result of being “marinated” in trauma. Some people think that you can’t remember when you are so small but as cognitive memories only come from when you can put a name to something because of speech, there’s a lot can happen prior to cognitive functionality. How you “feel” about something can be felt in the womb because your central nervous system is functioning long before speech development.
