Mitchell Phillips, from Lincolnshire, England, suffers from Alzheimer's disease, a form of Alzheimer's disease that affects more than one million people.
This misfortune happened to her after 2 traffic accidents, the first accident happened in 1985 when she was traveling on a motorcycle, 5 years later the second accident happened in 1990 and both times she was hit in the head during the accident. I was hurt.
Four years later, in 1994, doctors diagnosed Mitchell with epilepsy, the result of a head injury, and the condition worsened.
Mitchell often had epileptic seizures and began to forget things, so he lost his job, where one day he repeatedly made photocopies of the same document, because he could not remember. That she has done this before.
Now, 26 years later, she is still mentally stuck in 1994 and her memories cannot go beyond this year.
Every morning when she wakes up she thinks of herself as 26 years younger than 56 years old. She thinks Forrest Gump is a new movie released in 1994.
By the way, they do not have any memory of each passing day in their mind, but often they forget it only a few minutes after it becomes a new memory. For example, she meets someone and after a few seconds she may forget who she is talking to, and why.
She uses pieces of paper to remember things.
Mitchell keeps notes all over her house and uses the calendar on her phone for the same purpose, although she is often confused about what mobile phones are because they were not common in 1994.
In one of her interviews, she said that she wakes up every morning thinking that this is 1994, the last year that she remembers completely.
Mitchell's condition is constantly affecting not only his life but also the lives of his loved ones. Mitchell's husband would get up every morning and show them the wedding photos to prove that they were married.
Mitchell's husband says it could have been very annoying for me but I work patiently and stay calm, because I love Mitchell, I'm lucky we both met before her accident What she remembers, as well as our many pictures, helps her remember our relationship, otherwise she would have forgotten everything.
According to Mitchell, they have to memorize or learn everything again and again every day.
