1. How would you begin the process of recovering your memory? Who would you turn to, where would you search, and how would you proceed?

I will start my medication first by taking the medicine and listening advises from my doctor. Second, I will look for the help from my family and friends.  There are chance that I might be evoke my past memories by associate with the things and people I familiar with. The photos, place I go most often, my closest friends and even my house can help me to restore my losing memories.  In addition, I will try to see the psychologist for the mental therapy.  Even they can’t help me with the memories, they could still help me to face this challenge.

2. Please describe the emotional journey you imagine you would be going through as you attempt to reconstruct your life. Imagine the feelings you would have.

Of course, I will feel frighten and helpless at the beginning.  When I wake up, the whole world changed, I need to face the people never appear in your memories.  Confusion will come up in my mind that I need call those “strangers” as my family and friends.  It is difficult for me to accept all the truth. I might denial at first, but slow accept the reality.  I will try to recognize and remember everything relates to me. Then, look for the things or people which are important and meaningful to me. Try my best to experience my previous life again. By there, I could either get my memories back or loss them forever. But I will continue my life with the happiness, but not knock down by the challenge.

3. Suppose you were able to pick and choose the memories you wanted to recover from your life. What types of memories would you choose to retain and what types of memories might you decide to edit out of your remembered experience? Positive, negative, painful, happy, angry, frightened, etc. Please elaborate and explain some your decision making process.

If there are way to recover my part of memories I will choose to remember the most important people in my life which include my family and the best friend.  Furthermore, I will decide to keep the painful memory I have, because the painful memory is most impressed memories for me.  Even thought, it will be bitter for me but all of these will reflect what kind person I might be.  The painful memories might be more personal, because I always share the happiness but not pains.  Losing memory would change my life, it just brings me to experience the life one more time.
