Thank you. I guess it's just...it's kind of been a minefield in the family ever since it happened. So I guess I've been a bit worried at times. Honestly, I'm just hoping that whatever I thought happened is the case. I think the thing is that everyone here has been wonderfully supportive of me, which is a relief.

That is pretty interesting in regards to how memories work. Especially in terms of how complicated young memory is. I think in my case, it might have been stuff that's been jumbled together because of, say, knowledge I couldn't have had until I was an older kid and stuff that probably only happened when I was a younger kid. And I think something that was really terrifying come to think of it -- it was like after I had that maybe-memory (good term for it, by the way!), I lost the rest of my memories. Not the basics (I mean, I knew my name, I knew places I'd been recently, etc.), but...quite a few of them. I don't know what it is, but it was terrifying. I'm actually wondering if I had some sort of break, but...I dunno. It did scare the crap out of me, I know that much. And it really does occasionally feel like it's taking place in the present because I can just...well, feel that bathroom (before it got remodeled). How cold it is, and how sterile. Other stuff too. I usually have to try and calm myself down afterwards. I guess in a way I am living in the past -- maybe I'm scared to think of what will happen if I move (no pun intended) past it. And yeah, dreams...they're completely internal, but they're usually a good indicator of how the dreamer must be feeling.

So, honestly? I think this whole process is helping. Keeping track of my sleep schedule, getting to the roots of things, and getting some of my memories back. So...thank you.
