hey i had this as a little girl after my dad died really badly. like it lasted until middle school. i slept with my mom up until then. because of the fear of being attacked in my sleep. i get it every now and then. sleeping is a vulnerable thing. i try to tell myself that im safe as im falling asleep. but sometimes i still think someones going to break in and rape and kill me while im sleeping. sometimes my T will tell me that i am safe and i trust him so that helps. i tend to go to bed pretty early to avoid it. so the sun is still up when im going to sleep
