Being constantly confronted with things that should mean something to you, but don't, could get incredibly frustrating very quickly.Wanting to get away from all that and find a way to center yourself emotionally, without being constantly thrown off by all that emotional baggage, is a perfectly legitimate response. And taking the pressure off might well be the better, healthier option in the long run, even if it delays the return of memories.</blockquote>
