Amnesia is strange. Obviously what you don't remember at all is just gone and you can't miss it. But most of it is not as simple as totally lost or there, which is 'entertaining'. The brain tries to claim what it can, so if you have parts of a memory it will try to fill in the gaps. You also end up with memories where you are actually remembering what others have told you which doesn't always agree and gets confusing when your brain has tried patching you into it. The most bizarre part I have noticed is that your brain puts you in the constructed memory at the age you are then. So you can play back a partially constructed childhood memory where you become an adult for a section, which is your only clue. This is personal experience, others will have encountered different symptoms that either I didn't or didn't realise until it was pointed out.
