Dear
Welcome to HCM
We understand your concerns

I went through your details. This sort of memory problems can also happen due to over anxiety which is associated with bi-polar disorder. But just being bi-polar cannot harm your memory of the past. Certain episodes could be forgotten because mind uses defense mechanisms such as repression in threatening circumstances.

Hope this answers your query. Available for further clarifications.
Good luck.
