This is very creepy indeed. How dreadful to have missed chunks out and lost time like that. Only error I noticed was a typo - "Interestingly, no (mo) one ever commented....." Very descriptive. Good job.

    Thank you. Creepy is a good description for what I learned to call "my gaps in time".

"Not knowing why it happened and never knowing when my memory losses would occurred," occurred should be occur

"Interestingly, mo one ever commented" mo should be no

A disturbing piece of writing, well written. Well done!

Interestingly, mo one ever - s/b no one
That was the only error I saw. I also now sadly no what is happening in the story. Since this says it is non fiction, my heart feels sad that you have gone through this terror.
