Why do i keep forgetting the good times after a breakup?

Author

since a trauma i had in 2022, now everytime i lose contact with a friend, lover or anything, in two weeks, i lose all the happy memories i have
and i'm not with my ex since three weeks wich means i already forgot happy moments and only remember the bads things (and even this is fading away)
it's hard to love and miss someone without remembering why
especially since i deleted all the screenshots and for the pictures of us, it doesn't help me remember, it's even worst cuz i don't Even recognise his face on it

does this happen with every person you lose contact with now, or does it feel strongest with your ex because the breakup is still so fresh?

it happens with every person, it's a post traumatic mechanic that my brain has

after my breakup i deleted everything too, and later i wished i had kept some things, not to go back, just because that person was part of my life. i had to remind myself the memories were real even when they felt far away.

had moments after my breakup where i was scared i was forgetting the good parts, like all those memories were slipping away. it felt so strange missing someone my own mind was starting to blur.
