Paramnesia

Has anyone heard of or know anything more about paramnesia? Is it a disease or a disability or illness? Can it be controlled or cured or does it become worse over time? What triggers it? Why does paramnesia occur in people? Is it rare or common? Is it frowned upon and should someone not admit to paramnesia?

For a few years now I have been altering memories and making up things that i 100% believe but when i talk to friends about certain events, they say these events have never happened. After hearing about paramnesia somewhere (I don't remember where - although if i did remember where it might be wrong) i started looking up paramnesia on the internet && in books, however all i can find out about it is that it is "A distortion of memory in which fantasy and objective experience are confused."

I'm becoming very scared about whether i may have papamnesia but i'm scared to talk to anyone about it or see a doctor because they might think i'm stupid.

Please can anyone give me any more information?
Please.

Okay first of all you should never be afraid to see a doctor about it, they are profesionals and if they would make fun of you in any way for what ever resson they're not doing there job verry well.

Second I have never heard of this condision untill now so I look google searched it. I found a webpage about it saying It could have a conection with deja-vu, past lives, and psycic abilities.

So basicly what they think may be going on is eighther you are remembering something from your past life or lives or you are expressing so kind of psycic ability...

So really not much is known about it but my guess would be that the doctor could give a perscription to serpress this "constant deja-vu" thing.

I hope this helps somewhat. I wish you the best and remember please go to the doctor and don't be afraid...

Thank you everyone for your information. i think i definitely will see a doctor because it's starting to affect my relationships with those people closest to me as they think i "lie" to them and i can't explain myself.
