Hi everyone,

I had weird dreams last night that upset me but I don't remember what they were about. They weren't nightmares because I wasn't frightened in them, just upset. (I don't get nightmares anymore since I started taking Cyproheptadine.) I kept waking up because people in these dreams were behaving really badly (that's the only way I can describe it) but I don't think their actions were directed towards me. I think they were being really mean to other people.

Maybe it was an empathy dream. I've spent all week reading about other's experiences being abused. Maybe that's what it was about. I don't know. I wish I could remember more.

I started getting a really bad headache because of these dreams, which I still have. Also, I've been coughing a lot the last few days and don't know why, probably allergies.

I'm still feeling a bit better mentally since I joined the forum last week. Yesterday, I was shocked to see how many posts I've done in just a week! This forum is really drawing me out. I'm so grateful for this place and everyone here.

I recommend people take breaks from the intensity of the mental illness forums and spend some time in the coffee house forum. There are a lot of threads there on light topics that solicit short, quick answers. I think my doing this has helped me participate as much as I have been.

Thanks for listening.
