The triggers are never so bad as at night, especially on a night like tonight. I've run out of sleep meds. So my sleep is going back to the unrestfull, fitful waking up from nightmares and terror and paranoia.

I was asleep and woke up terrified. Now I can't get back to sleep.

My stupid T tried to talk to me about strategies for falling asleep, not drinking too much caffeine, etc...like I've never heard those suggestions before or tried them before. It was really frustrating. He's really pushing EMDR on me and spent our whole session today talking about EMDR rather than me talking about me. I was like, I paid $60 for this?

Anyways, I can't sleep. It sucks. I'm terrified to go to sleep.
