How often does any one here experience nightmares or night terrors? I feel like mine are the majority of the week ranging from things like minor embarrassment to horrid dreams of me dying being killed tortured etc you get the picture. I don't have suicidal thoughts but I wake up too often from this and it can affect my whole day. Sometimes there night terrors and I wake up thinking it's real and I'm still in it maybe yelling or jumping up and running out of the room.

I wake up screaming quite a bit. With no memory of a dream. The AD meds help with this, but I still get them.

Multiple times a night, nearly every night. One will end (I think I wake up) and the next will start without me waking up in real life in between. Always dreams of being beaten, raped, tortured, and murdered. It's been going on for about a year and a half now, so I'm able to come back to reality and calm down after waking faster now, but in the beginning I would feel so scared that I would hide in my closet for hours after. I was taking a heart pill (prazosin) for them for awhile, but when I switched doctors that never got switched, and I hadn't noticed that much of a difference anyways.

Nightmares most nights. Floods, homelessness, isolation, abandonment, flying off the road, oncoming trains, falling off a cliff, being chased, being attacked, being robbed, being in hell, being in a cell, in quicksand, dying. It's exhausting and traumatizing and happens around 4 in the morning. No more sleep after that. Now I'm just trying to be rational when they wake me up...just a nightmare...I'm in a warm, cozy bed...I'm fine...Don't try to figure out the nightmare...just forget it...reality's bad enough...don't enable a bad 'unreality'...fight the self destructive thoughts...help yourself...save yourself...choose happiness...misery doesn't serve you...relax. Whatever I can think of to calm down. It helps.

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
