Ever wonder, for no particular reason, if you will make it through the night?

I used to hope I wouldn't. Thankfully I'm not in that much (physical) pain anymore.

Yes and yes! Been there...and it seemed like an abyss! What saved me was professional help and I also i kept a journal and would write intil, I could write nothing else down! It is a kind of 'hell'...there is no way around it! I would not wish it even upon my enemies! That is how bad, I have had it!

@DerekD I think that I was the first to answer "No" and there is a simple reason why I would not wish to consider the question of "Will I be dead tomorrow" - the answer is that I will never know so why waste time pondering the question when I can be sleeping.

Not till now. Holy shit!

There have been morning when I have woken up and thought "Shit, still here!"

3

I stopped doing that when I was 13. Not that I came to any epiphany. Just that I decided sleep was more important.

Yes!!

3

No. I'm always pretty sure I'm going to open my eyes in the morning, sigh, and start all over again.

One day that cycle will get interrupted, but in most ways it will be a relief.

Every time I wake up its a surprise.
A pleasant one, but none the less.

I suppose I vaguely wonder this every night, but I'm never really surprised to wake up. I suppose one day I'll be surprised not to. 😕

2

Nah, I just wonder if I'll sleep through the night.

You are so fortunate...I don't have the problem now, but could sleep better!

2

yes, frequently

2

Not that old yet .... That being said, I know the writing is on the wall

No, not for no particular reason. Usually when I wonder if I will make it through the night I am having problems with my asthma.

2

Sometimes but I think of particular reasons..

Oh yeah. Those are the times of which one does not speaketh though.

Thank heavens you weren't giving advice when I was screaming out in psychic anguish! Lol It is fine now, but once-upon-a-time!

Yes - on occasion, but ever since I was young.
And it used to worry me a lot.
Now, as an adult, I tend to console myself with,
<< I'll either life thought it, or not.
Not much I can do about it. >>
then I figure that getting a good night's sleep is probably the best I can hope for, regardless of the outcome.

No... ive always wanted to be killed quickly if in an accident. Everybody wins whether they think so or not. Wife gets a check and all the stuff. I get to move on and see if theres a higher plane of existence. I don't have to suffer and others don't have to take care of me. Its a win win situation.

I see your point...but, just think about 'leaving,' when it is your time...that is enough!

1

There have been occasions, yes, but they were supported by substantial reason. Flying in severe weather. Instrument failure. Combat. Vulnerable positions in the wild. Twice for major surgery. Sudden accident avoidance in traffic, and so forth. Just for the sake of concern? Never.

Depends on which g/f I am with on that night !

1

Yes. I'm thanatophobic and when I have anxiety problems at night, that's one of the things that ambushes me.

1

Nope.... only when there's a mighty damn good reason!

1

I never doubt that I will wake up but sometimes, waiting for sleep, I imagine that this is what death will feel like and will be indistinguishable from. I feel I am conditioning myself so that when my time does come I will be able to approach it as fearlessly as a good night's sleep.

Can't say I have.

Never thought that

I just live in the present so if I make it or not through the night I will analysis that at that time
