That is an excellent question. I'd like to figure out how to sleep myself. I have had nightmares ever since I was little, but for the past five years they have been so frequent, bad, and intense that I try to avoid sleep because of them. I wake up literally screaming from them or choking on my own tears. I am so anxiety-filled that even sleep is stressful. What the hell?!?

I'm beginning to think it's too much to ask to be able to sleep without nightmares (among other things I need in my life). I can't make them go away or stop. Whenever I feel like dying, which is pretty much every day, that is one of the many reasons why. It's like I can't escape from my problems day or night, asleep or awake. I hate nightmares, they're horrible. Why won't they go away?
