Last night my sleep and awakening were not so bad, so I did not write down my question and sit and answer using my non dominant hand….the night before was different..my wife woke me in the early am hours by yelling my name loudly, 3 times today and shouted that I needed to stop screaming.. I wasn’t even aware that I was screaming or even having a nightmare…I’ve had episodes similar to this in the past, but not to this extent…I must have been deep…and when I awoke I was in not aware of what had happened during the night, I had completely forgotten it…but the morning anxiety and the dreadful thought 💭‘what’s going to happen to us’ was there and I had to shake it off and get moving….

Later on I grabbed my spiral notepad and wrote the question and sat there for a few minutes…still totally unaware of the episode of screaming and my wife having to wake me up…what came to me were probably the same thoughts and words that I would have written with my dominant hand but I tried it….I’m not sure, but here is what my non dominant hand scribbled…..”I DON’T HAVE…ENOUGH….WORRIED…
ALONE….NO ONE …TO BE WITH…ALONE…DEAD

Then this morning I was flipping through my phone trying to delete so many random photos when I came upon a pic of a pretty glass cut candle holder and stuck under it, was my DMV registration renewal card due 30 Nov…. I had completely forgotten about it…so down I go today (not far from me) in the Subaru to get the Camry new registration….to all have a safe and healthy week

@pvctom2021 You may have stumbled onto something that will give you insight. How did you feel after this first time? Shaken up? Surprised? More confused? Perhaps several days of posing the same question to yourself will produce a dialog, and help allay the anxiety. It's worth a try!

Please let us know. It can be scary, but enlightening.
