A month ago I went to a Therapist I won't come back, I'll explain it on another post; but one of the things that kept going around in my head was what he said me when I told him I have had night terrors since I was 10.
Everytime something extremly stressful happened, they come back, I was so afraid to fall asleep (becuase everybody, my mom, then my husband, would wake me up like somebody was attacking me) that I've tried to wake up before they actually occur, and I ended up, waking up really agitated and with a man's (that I have no idea who he is) face really close to my own face as my last image.
The therapist asked if I was sexually abused. I suffer abused, but I know for a fact, it was never sexual; and to be honest, I thought he was looking for another excuse to have me going every week and pay his fee.
On the other hand when I said exactly the same thing to my PDoc, she (and I love how confortable she seemed) said that it was because night terrors are linked to maniac episodes.
I'd like to know what else you guys know about this.
Thanks!
