I have nightmares and know how horrible and frightning. Mine usually are more intense and upsetting when I am under a great deal of stress. I was informed when I lived in the group home that I cried out in my sleep, and it was embarrasing for me, because I wasn't awake and didn't hear myself.
I am glad to hear you are returning to work. I agree that you do not need to over do it. As with any illness you are still in 'recovery' from a long depression and just as someone recovering from surgery they take things slow as tolerated then gradually work their way back up to better health. I have found that I need to recocnize my limits of what I am able to do in one day and not going way over what I am used to or push myself because it causes me to feel worse the next day.
I wish you the best in getting out again
Take Care,
Kris
I wish you the best, and the hope for a better day for us all, in out struggles no matter how large or small I wish hope for us all

If you think you have totally gave up, you haven't, because you are here!
