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.
There have been morning when I have woken up and thought "Shit, still here!"
Every time I wake up its a surprise.
A pleasant one, but none the less.
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!
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.
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!
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.
Yes. I'm thanatophobic and when I have anxiety problems at night, that's one of the things that ambushes me.
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.
