Imagine being able to remember every single day of your life, all the way back to when you were a newborn.
Australian woman Rebecca Sharrock is one of only 60 people in the world with a highly superior autobiographical memory (HSAM), also known as hyperthymesia.
I’ve heard of this very rare ability. The last person I saw on TV that had it years ago when Discovery was still good suffered pretty bad depression. Imagine remembering every bag thing that ever happened to you with perfect clarity, whether you wanted to or not, at the slightest reminder. Every bullying, every breakup, every fight, every injury, embarrassing moment, bad day, car accusing - all of it - as if it had literally just happened to you. My depression is bad enough; if I had this condition I’d almost certainly have ended it all.
