Hi DHauge, not experience only my opinion.

As PD progresses, it gradually becomes more difficult to talk. You might not even notice it yet but you will start to talk less.

The "blank stare showing no emotion" is what they refer to as the PD death mask. It is very common in PD. PD affect the facial muscles like it does the other muscles in the body. You should excersise your facial muscles too. An occupational therapist helped me by giving me some excersises to do.

From what I've read from other members' posts, the night time behavior you exhibited, is not that rare. The posts also refer to the fear. I'm not sure whether this is a symptom of PD or a side effect of the medication or both. Whichever, I think you should see your doctor soonest.

You are "only" experiencing what a number of members on this team experiences. When you are on your own, you don't realise there are lots of people going through this. That is one of the great values of this group to me.

You are not alone.
Your problems can be addressed.
See your doctor asap

I think it’s understandable that one feels unloved. I know I am not the same fun , interesting person I used to be I am aware of thie and noticed that I am less communicative
