Some Background

Guess I didn't really explain much if anything about myself in the last post.

My real name is not Ishamael, it's just something that has stuck in the past several months of my life. A little security I've desperately needed, a part of my life that won't just disappear like so much already has.

Over the past few years I've been working closely with my psychiatrist Dr. M. I've been diagnosed with... what the hell was it called... Dissociative Amnesia, you can search up the condition if you want, I've heard the explanation enough lately, and don't feel like re-iterating it. According to him this is one of the worst cases he's seen, with the majority of 15 years gone. I'm 32 now, and I'm missing mostly everything about my life since I was 17. That is the big chunk of memory loss, though I've been periodically suppressing more memories over the past year, something which has abated over the past few months. But more onto what I've suppressed, and what I haven't. I can not remember anything about my family, and it's been confirmed I wasn't an orphan. Dr. M has been trying for the past year now to find any form of lead on my family... my history... but he has yet to find anything solid. That is all I've seemed to block out, I remember basically everything else. College, relationships, friends, jobs... just about everything.

The one main thing is my family, and it's not like i can remember them from my childhood, anything pertaining to them is gone... just... a blank, a fog in my mind. Everything about the Hall family is wiped clean. Oh and as i said before, Ishamael isn't my real name, it's Robert Hall. And no matter what Dr. M has tried, he cant find anything substantial on the Hall family. I mean sure he has found some information: Birth Certificates, Previous Addresses and Phone Numbers, but there has been nothing that has pointed to any clues about my origins. It's very disconcerting, that. Well it's getting late, and considering I have an appointment with Dr. M tomorrow, I should really be getting some sleep. He called me tonight saying he had some information to share with me, so I'll hopefully have more information after tomorrow, so expect something up tomorrow night.

Signing Out.
