Imagine every detail, of every hour, of every day, of every year, since you were 14. Useful? Annoying? Unusual? Interesting? Well, this has been Jill Price’s life since she was 14. Price considers it a curse instead of a gift since she is unable to not remember things. Very detailed memories such as what time she awoke, what she ate, who she met is in her brain and can be triggered by songs, smells, or locations.
Price described the condition as a split screen television, one side showing what is currently going on, the other a whirlwind of memories that she cannot hold back. The condition, called hyperthymestic syndrome, and is extremely rare with only 5 other confirmed cases, and 50 possibles. Price says the condition has afflicted her with depression because she remembers everything, which means every bad decision, insult and embarrassment. A researcher commented on her extraordinary ability, “you can give her a random day years ago, and in a few seconds she can tell you what day it was, what she did, and key events of the day.” Price kept a diary from age 10-34 and scientists use the diary of how she remembered them now against how she put them down years ago.
This is an amazing story but I would be a little skeptical that she has just not read her diary over and over again and simply memorizing the events that way, however I haven’t viewed the actual research so I won’t be a skeptic.
Unusual People 
I would love to let Jill Price know, that we all together have this sort of memories, which is shown in hypnosis, but we usually have a filter set by our subconscious mind, so that we are not bothered with a lack of focus on daily important things.
She had a shock caused in the age of 8 years and with this strenght she gave herself the unconsciously order “never to forget” and that is exactly what happend. To undo this strong order (during her shock) it is necessary to give herself the opposite and correct order – just to remember and forget like usual by humans – or use the help of a professional hypnotist.
Is somebody able to adresse this note to Ms. Price? Thank you.
You might be able to google her to find some sort of contact information. Maybe not though as she has remained anonymous for years and only very recently revealed herself. To be honest I don’t know if she would even want to undue this condition if it is even possible, given the fact that she is among only 5 other confirmed people in the world.
I also think that reserachers and doctors whom are trying to study her condition for the benefit of the world would be able to persuade her otherwise.
