It sounds like you have a wonderful pdoc that is wanting to keep your best interest as a priority......not just for now, but for your future.

The pdoc is right....without having to worry about working right now, you will be able to put your mind into what is needed to help yourself.

Dealing with memories & nightmares is difficult. Sky is right.....memories can hurt you now, but they can take you back to the time you were hurt which causes the stress to make your life miserable. I have found that anxiety attacks & the pounding heart & chest pains that are associated can be miserable, but they won't kill us even though we may feel that way.

Sleep is a normal thing for our body to want. It's the bodys way of protecting & healing itself. Sleep is part of depression & is good......however sometimes nightmares can come into our sleep & haunt us there. The pdocs can provide meds to help us through the feelings we have & what we need for our bodies to start healing themselves along with being able to talk through our problems.

When you have a good pdoc that you can trust, there isn't anything better that feeling that there is someone that really wants to help us.

Take care & work with your pdoc for your best interest now & in your future,
Debbie
