I'm not sure what the nightmares relate to. I had an intense feeling of being completely helpless and overwelmed to the point of being paralyzed with fright.

Am I supposed to look at how I felt and discover what is making me feel that way in my life? What about the object of my phobia, does it play any part? Gonna do a little net search on that item and it better not be bad. My visuals are already horrible and make me cringe in fear.

jmo - sorry to hear you are going through a similiar situation. I can't imagine dealing with it for months. I'm trying to get through my first night. I REFUSE to sleep.
