I'm not sure what to do about these. I never am, really.
Nightmares, sleep paralysis, and hallucinations are a part of having narcolepsy. I've accepted this and I've accepted that it will happen for the rest of my life.
But all the same, I still hate them. I've been dreaming of being stalked, being shot, being assaulted, having friends and family members dying, failing out of college, losing my job, losing all my money, stuff like that. It's all so realistic that I'll wake up disoriented and afraid. I'm honestly not sure if I'm experiencing sleep paralysis or hallucinations again, because I haven't had problems with those in a while. Still, the nightmares are getting much more frequent and scary.
I think the weird part is that my life has been going pretty well in the past few months. No major issues to speak of. Yet every time things in my life seem to be going good, the nightmares come back and don't let up. They only really leave when I'm in a depressive episode.
Thoughts/opinions?
