Like, say someone experienced some type of abuse as a child. Is it possible for them to repress this event so strongly they don’t remember it in their adult life? Just feel the effects of unexplained mental illness? Or is this just a thing in the movies?

I got into a really bad car accident, as a passenger, that messed me up pretty bad and I don’t remember it at all.
The weird thing is that I don’t even remember the 15 minutes leading up to it or the 6 hours after despite being concious and talking. The 6 hours after can pretty easily be explained by the severe concussion… But the 15 minutes leading up to it? And the accident itself for that matter? I’ve always assumed I repressed it.
Even sitting here 20 years later, none of those memories have ever come back. I can’t picture any of it in my mind. I figured some of it would come back someday but here we are.
