Woke up angry

Do any of you wake up angry in the middle of the night about what happened to you?

No, I'm just generally angry and bitter, though I internalize most of it :/

Yes ... And sometimes sad and/or crying, or scared.

I think it might be due to being triggered and having
flashbacks while sleeping and dreaming.

Sometimes I remember what I was dreaming right
before waking up and other times I don't.

On the ones I am able to remember, I can definitely
see a correlation between what I was dreaming and the
emotional state I find myself in upon waking.

Yes, I have waken up angry in the middle of the night many times.

Sorry you are experiencing that, I know it's very challenging.

I traced back my steps and I realized why I woke up angry. Yesterday I was contacted by my dad and my ex, two triggers for me. I suppressed my reactions and they woke me up in the middle of the night.

Ok, good, you were trying to process that in your sleep and that is what woke you up angry. I have had to sit and figure it out when I experience these bad nights too.

I am sorry you woke up angry, but glad that you have figured out why.

Yes and that is why I decided to double my dose of seroquel as I can't afford to wake up in the middle of the night like that. Thankfully I'm seeing my psychiatrist tomorrow so I can tell her I needed to take 50mg.

I don't wake up angry, but I wake up with my heart pounding. I often have 'confrontation' dreams (nightmares?), but often don't remember anything, just wake up with heart pounding.

I wake up angry sometimes, I think it's from trigger dreams and the same as you not dealing with things that make me angry in the present moment.

I noticed recently I started doing DBT in my sleep which has been quite interesting and helps me since I wake up about 4 times a night or more I've been waking up saying things like be calm you are safe and comfortable, everything is going to be okay, relax and go to sleep. Although while I am laying in bed just before I go to sleep I do EFT tapping and say DBT skills with the taps so I think it's sticking with me during the night.
