This Woman Remembers Every Day of Her Life


You might think you have a good memory, but it doesn’t come close to Rebecca Sharrock’s brain bank. Born with a rare condition called highly superior autobiographical memory (H.S.A.M.), Rebecca is able to recall every single day of her life from 12 days old to present day with remarkable accuracy. With only 60 people diagnosed around the world, she’s one of a very few people blessed with the ability to never forget.

      As I recall from another video she had significant problems. She didn’t just remember all events but also how she felt about the situation at the time as well. Until she realised she could “cheer herself up” by counteracting depressing memories with optimistic or happy ones!
