I am an 18 F who has struggled since childhood to remember faces and people. I have to see people at least one a day through photo or in person to be able to remember people. I have a lover, she is so wonderful but no matter how hard I try I cannot remember her face, how tall she is, her voice, or her body. I can only remember her clothes and smell. It is the same with my family as well, and I honestly feel so upset and so angry at that fact. In dreams I cannot see faces either, or even in day dreams. Most people are like blurs of memories.

Because of this issue I have a severe attachment issue that causes people discomfort.

Does anyone have any advice or a reason this may be happening?

my brother is a 20yr Male and he struggles with autism and depression. He has started to go down mentally after being bullied in highschool for trying to protect me and someone who is close to me. Then after our father abandoned him leaving his stuff over in a different state which is another story that’s long to explain.

my brother keeps getting aggressive and closing himself off and running away for hours on end, leaving his wallet and phone, and He doesn’t normally like to be outside either—he’s a homebody who plays video games since he was little.

He switches on and off from being optimistic to pessimistic, first saying that he wants to try and get a job or make friends then believing that there’s no hope for him. he‘ll ask us for help then get aggressive and say that we never help him.

My brother is Extremely sweet when he’s not in one of his episode but when he’s like this it’s so hard to help him, because he gets so angry and aggressive and we don’t know if he’s going to hurt someone or our pet. he has ran out again and we have no way of contacting him.

We also can’t put him in job corp because the person who bullied my brother so badly is there.

any advice on how to help him?
