i so understand! i just journaled about this in fact. i used to do this more than i do now. wake myself up clawing my face. the pain actually wakes me up. it's very disconcerting.

the only thing that i've been able to put together about this is it happens when my PTSD/stress levels are extreme, so i'm wondering if i'm having flashback type nightmares. i never remember nightmares, only the sense that i'd had one. i just did this again last week, at the same time old PTSD habits creep up again.

i'm going to ask t about this tomorrow and see what he says. it's awful to wake up in pain with your own hands clawing at your face. i don't know what else to do about it other than keep nails short. however, with the motions being like they are, i don't think that would help much

i can see where you would take of gloves in sleep. when i act out like this, i take rings off and can't find them, sleepwalk sometimes and do silly things.

i just don't know the solution but to try to keep triggers and stress down i'll let you know what t says, if anything...

gl!
