If I woke up one morning and all my memories from the past 5 years had been erased, I'd probs be clueless. But since I'm at home with my fam and dog, it would give me a chance to start fresh! Would def take some getting used too tho. After talking to people, figuring out what happened in those five year…I duno.. maybe try playing some vid games for old times sake? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

If I woke up one morning with my memories from the past 5 years gone, I'd probably figure out a way to get them back. After all, who am I if not some fat nerdy know-it-all playing games all day?

If I woke up one morn with no memories from the past 5 yrs, I'd turn to my faith. It's been a comfort for me throughout life as a lonely soldier in Iraq and as an aging vet w/ little left in this world. With faith, patience and grace surely God'll bring back what was taken away.

If woke up one morning and all memories from past five years erased, be very mad. Think someone playing trick on me! Start lookin' for answers. Talk to people who know 'bout Russian immigrating experience in case they seen anythin'. As long as don't get real answers, keep strugglin', prob have lots of questions but no way find out answer at once so stay persistent n' patient.

Reboot and find a way 2 start anew. See if I can make better mistakes this time. No point dwelling in the past w/o memory of it anyway.

If I woke up one morning and all my memories from the past five years had been erased, the first thing I'd do is consult a professional. A neurologist, memory specialist or psychologist would be capable of providing me with more information on what kind of amnesia this might be - retrograde or otherwise - as well as guidance on how best to remember names, dates and events blotted out by my condition. It's also advisable that I see an attorney to help safeguard myself against any legal liabilities which may have occurred during those lost five years due to contracts signed unknowingly or other consequences forgotten but not necessarily forgiven. Beyond medical care and law advice though, it's important for people suffering from memory loss like mine to create new experiences in order to bolster their sense of identity moving forward; activities such as reading books about our hobbies and interests can help us access knowledge previously attained while we rebuild upon it simultaneously through our newfound dedication!

I would pray to God asking for guidance and strength. I'd then reach out to loved ones, like my children or close friends, who might help fill in the missing pieces of my life's puzzle. To preserve any further memory loss, I'd look into seeing a doctor right away about this troubling situation. Finally, if necessary, I'd keep helpful notes with me as reminders so that things don't get too confusing along the way!

I would be really freaked out and upset, but I'd make the most of it. I'd start by trying to recreate my life from scratch - talking to my friends & family about what has happened in the past five years, looking through old photos or reminiscing with them if need be! Once I had a grasp on where things had been at, then we could decide together how best to move forward. Meanwhile, I will live each day as they come and remember that there are still plenty of amazing memories yet to make.

If I woke up and all my memories from the past 5 years were gone, I'd prob be like WTF! It's so wild thinkin' about that. My head would be totally spinnin', but I'd try to take it easy cuz freakin out won't help nothin'. Maybe I could just start fresh & keep doin what I have been - go to school, hang with friends & girls (lol) and make sure not to get on my sis's nerves too much.

Well, if I woke up one morning and all my memories from the past 5 yrs was gone then uh...I guess I'd be stuck livin' like a baby. First thing in my head would prolly be 'what am I doin'?'. It's kinda strange thinkin' about havin' to relearn everything again but hey, at least these 2 lil dudes of mine won't change no matter what so everythin'll work out alright in the end. Plus there's gonna be some funny moments along the way for sure!

If I woke up one morning and all my memories from the past five years had been erased, I'd laugh it off like an episode of Groundhog Day! Then, since there's no use crying over spilt milk, I'd make a plan to create new awesome memories. Instead of fretting about what was gone forever, I would focus on taking life day by day - maybe even hour by hour so nothing slips through the cracks! After that...who knows? The world is my oyster and with each new moment comes endless chances for fun and adventure. Time to turn this amnesiac state into something fabulous!!

If I woke up one morning and all my memories from the past five yrs were gone, i'd be sooo confuse. Probally just sit there in bed and try to remember what happenin'. Maybe ask mi wife if she rememba anythin' which probally would make her mad cuz it was me who forgot! But I supose, then maybe get outta bed go eat some Mexican fast food like tacos or burritos--nothin like a tasty meal to help calm down an worry mind!

I'd look in the mirror and laugh at everyone who got played by me over the years, with no memory of it to fall back on.

If I woke up one morning and my memories from the past five years had been erased, I would first take a few deep breaths to calm down. Then I'd reach out to family members or close friends and ask them for help in reminding me of any major events that may have occurred during those five years. Thereafter, with their guidance and advice, I'd try to fill in as much information about myself – such as skills acquired and experiences gained - over this period so that I can carry on with life successfully.

If I woke up one morn and all my memories from the past 5 years were erased, I'd be PISSED! Rather than try to remember things it's easier to just move on and make new stuff. Girls ain't worth remembering anyways.

If I woke up one morning and all my memories from the past five years had been erased, I would take a systematic approach to rebuilding them. First, I'd seek out old friends and family members who can fill me in on what's happened since then - sharing stories both happy and sad. Then, if any of those moments were particularly notable or impactful enough for me to remember later on, e.g., graduations or trips abroad etc., photographs could be a great source of guidance as well as nostalgia! Finally but most importantly, actively engaging with new experiences is an incredible way to create lasting memories; this may include reading books about relevant topics (a personal favorite!), attending workshops that relate specifically to something you want to learn more about; listening frequently to podcasts which are often just wonderful! Keeping track of these activities over time allows us not only understand where we've come from better now being aware that it took commitment get here in first place-just so rewarding!

If I woke up one morning and all my memories from the past five years had been erased, it'd be like starting life over again. Thankfully, I have my family - my husband, kids & dogs to help remind me who I am and they can telll me stories about everything that has happened in those five years whilst we rebuild our memories together. Until then, I'll focus on today by staying home with my family having fun doing things such as playing board games or going outside for a picnic. It'll also give me the time to reconnect with old friends and go out exploring new places so when memory does come back real strong, i've got more experiences to make even stronger bonds.

If I woke up one morning and all my memories from the past five years had been erased, I'd take it as an opportunity to start fresh. Although it would be difficult relearning things that were once familiar, I'm a positive person who's always looking for adventure. So while trying to regain some of my lost memories through discussions with family & friends and photos, I'd focus on what lies ahead - explore new hobbies like sailing, hiking and traveling; become the best father possible for my children; strive harder at work; enjoy life in its fullest!

If I woke up one morning and realized my memories from the past 5yrs had been erased, it’d be pretty wild. But honestly, I'd just embrace it like an opportunity to start fresh - get back out there drivin' around in cars and playing sports with fam + friends. See what happens when you don't got no baggage weighin’ ya down? Think that could even help me stay more focused on makin' moves towards chill goals too!

If I awoke one morning with all my memories from the past five years gone, I'd be so confused and feel a bit lost. But instead of freaking out or panicking, I'd take some time to sit back and just breathe. And then - like with any new challenge - break it down into manageable steps. First: gather information about what happened (just in case there are medical explanations). Also assess different resources that will help me get better acquainted with who and where I am in this moment! Then focus on learning more about myself by exploring hobbies, meeting people, asking questions...all while having fun making new memories along the way =)

If I woke up one mornin' not rememberin' the last 5 years, I'd be pretty shook up. Being an American Patriot an' all, my first thought would probably just be to grab a gun or two and some Jesus for protection 'n guidance. Then should could go back home to Texas in my big ol'truck- definitely brings more peace of mind than ridin on public transport! As a proud Christian an doer luvin patriot it's natural that President Trump is always gonna have mah support n admiration no matter what. We shared many beautiful memories over these five past years but if Gods willed them away then so shall it be, at least its somethin we can look forward too once again - Amen 🙏

If I woke up one morning and all my memories from the past five years had been erased, I would start by seeking professional help to try to regain those lost memories. In addition, I'd take some time for self-reflection - what priorities did I have before these memories were gone? What relationships and activities am I missing out on now that they are no longer available? With a clear understanding of my goals and values, it will be easier for me to create new pathways towards continuing a fulfilling life. Lastly, if appropriate depending on where you live in the world; work with an expert therapist or mental health practitioner who can offer guidance through this process so that when memories return (if they do) you’re better equipped to handle any shifts in behaviour or emotions that may accompany them.

If I woke up one morning with my memories from the past five years erased, I would give myself a crash course in activism and feminism. To make sure all of that knowledge stayed locked into my head, because these topics are essential for me to stay fighting on climate change and gender inequality battles!

Tsk, gotta start from scratch again! Guess I'd better make new wild memories to replace the old ones and pretend like my life was always like this. Heck, might as well do it with style - let's get this amnesia party started!

If I woke up one morning and all my memories from the past five years had been erased, I would take a moment to pause and appreciate how far I have come in my life. Then, I would seek professional help if necessary to try to regain those lost memories. As difficult as this situation may seem, it could be an opportunity for me to make new learnings that will enrich my being even more over time. In addition, connecting with people who were part of your life during those five years can offer valuable insight into what transpired so you can still remember them with some clarity.

If I woke up one morn and all my memories from the past five years had been erased, I'd prob just ask whomever was closest to me who I am then start curating a new sob story about how ~life~ got me down while strutting around with the most outrageous clothes possible. Kidding (kinda). But seriously, anything that elicits an eye roll is usually fair game for me so you can bet that even though my memory had disappeared overnight, my way of making people feel inferior with steady doses of sarcasm would remain unchanged!

If I woke up one morning and all my memories from the past 5 years had been erased, I’d be like wtf. It’s gonna be pretty weird not remembering anything from these years - all those homies, concerts, dogs that have passed through my life.. But then again it could feel kinda liberating too without any obligations or memories to worry/stress about. So maybe I should take this opportunity to do something different this time around - start fresh & get with some new trends (fashion+makeup obv). Start listening to diff kinds of music so the concert scenes can rock even more when Covid is finally over and stuff. School though... probably going back there isn't such a good idea lol but hey gotta keep movin'!

If I woke up one morning and my memories from the past five years were erased, I would start by taking some time to relax. This kind of event can be overwhelming so it's important not to rush into anything. Next, I'd try reaching out to friends and family for help in piecing together what recently happened in my life. Talking about the things we've done together could provide clues that might jog my memory. Additionally, any pictures or videos they have taken of us together over the last few years may also jog my memory — something a little silly like a funny haircut or outrageous outfit might spark a recollection of an adventure! Lastly, as much as possible (and when appropriate), I'd take advantage of available resources like schools and libraries to help me refresh myself on new knowledge gained during this past half decade - whether educational classes missed during those times or extracurricular activities stopped due to other responsibilities now regained forgotten skills⁠—no matter how small but always relearning newer
