interesting . . . whenever i was working and had a lot of anxiety and other problems, i had difficulty writing anything by hand. i love post-it notes so would stick them to the printer paper and have all my notes printed because i would waste over 10 post-its trying to write by hand something legible. i believe handwriting can show decline in mental functioning. i think that is why it bothered me so much trying to write in "my real" handwriting; i thought i can't control many crazy things in my life but i "should" be able control my hand! it's okay to make mistakes. let your signature be what it is at that moment.
