A Dream

I was sleeping, yay! I had an awful, psychotic, rotten dream, so bad I can't even say what it was about! So, of course I wake up in a panic, am I about to crash, or go manic? I have been off my meds for about 2 months, because, I just don't get it, I guess. I thought I would be OK, once again. Does anyone else have dreams so bad, that you can't even say them out loud? Wow, I am just off the charts today! Thanks

I am not on medication either. I haven't been for over a year (I wasn't put on any new meds once I got pregnant.) Anyway, I have horrible nightmares! Most of my dreams are nightmares. They are most the thing that would scare me most, something bad happening to my husband or kids! But sometimes they are bad things happening to me. I mean, horrible things! And extremely realistic, too.

I don't know if it's a bipolar thing or a non-medicated thing or not. But I know I have lots of bad dreams.

Thanks for sharing! Sorry you have them, they really are awful! I wonder if they are just from not sleeping right?

My panic attacks are worse than my dreams and I can't talk about them, not even with my t.

POSSIBLE TRIGGER!!!!!

Last night I had a dream that this man kept trying to stab me and he was kicking me in my face so I stabbed him repeatedly until he died...I woke up 3 times last night because of bad dreams. I am 3 weeks off of my antidepressant so I have to attribute it to that.

I've always had 'bad' dreams. Before, during and now after meds. I say 'bad' cos I've become desensitized. The ones where I'm in danger are unsettling, sometimes, tho rarely, they can upset me, like my demon dreams. Buuut, I'm usually the bad guy in the dream, and usually my dreamself is having 'fun' while at it... I don't share, I'll sound psychotic, coz I was happy in those dreams...

Thanks for the input everyone. I guess I was worried that having a dream like I did, means a part of me is psychotic? I still can't get over it, no sleep last night. I just don't get where they come from???? I mean, frightening is one thing, disturbing, is a whole different ball game!
