Is it too much to ask? Triggers Is it too much to ask?



I just want sleep just to rest. My nightmares have started again and, like before, they're every night and bad. I'm fed up. The nightmares stopped whilst I was seeing S, I was happy...
What I hate even more is that I've just woke up from a few nightmares (I constantly wake up) where one was about an ex (John... which I hate because I'm over him now and he's in my nightmares making me want to end my life). Another my friend died. They're always horrible. Graphic and gory or people dying. I'm so sick of it
I'm so tired right now. I want to go back to sleep, but I don't because I know it's all nightmares.
Every single morning I wake up suicidal. Every morning, the first thing that I think is "I can't take this anymore, I really don't wanna be here". And to start my days like that..... well.... it's hard bringing myself around from that.
I feel SO horrendous right now.

I've tried writing them out before. It didn't really help much and was distressing seeing it as I wrote it out. None really make sense although I think if you think about them all together it's probably from me worrying and being depressed over being alone. I don't know how to tackle that to stop the nightmares though.
I saw my doctor yesterday. I told her I was getting the nightmares again, but I also told her I'd started cycling a lot more and she's happy with that. She said that being physically drained from exercise could help me sleep better. I'm keeping my fingers crossed about that, but at the moment the nightmares are still there
I feel embarrassed.about this post to be honest. I wrote it during one of my worst stages (on a morning), it's weird even reading that little bit back.

((((molly))))

it will get better, I just know it...

hang in there and throw everything you can at this depression until it lifts off of you and you can get yourself free from the down times.

you are worth every effort.

make yourself a safe place and have some precious time there, to renew, refresh and revise your plans... it seems to work for many, including moi.

sending love and understanding your way,
Peace and Friendship,
Night

I am sorry you are hurting. I hope your nightmares stop soon. I know how they can be and I understand your fear. Please take care of you. You are important, you matter. Depression does cause so much and makes it so much worse. Tiredness I know makes things bigger to us and sometimes triggers things too. Know we care very much and you are in our thoughts. I hope that you can get some rest soon. If you need someone to sit with you just let me know--I will gladly sit with you. You are never alone.

molly so glad i read down the posts...and that you discussed this with your doc. i do believe the cycling will help you rest better. i truly admire you for making that effort. one thing i found was when i was awake i didn't have as much trouble as when i went to sleep and my mind was allowed to "come awake". so i can relate to your frustration too. keep us posted...k?. we care a lot about you!

I agree with what some other ppl have said to you. You should go see your doctor and talk about it.

I have horrible, twisted, bizzare,....nightmares almost every night as well. My former psychologist recommended that I write my dreams in a journal and get up right away and do something active to distract myself.

All I can say is that I am in the same boat as you and sometimes left shaking after I wake up after having twisted nightmare.

Just getting to this post today but I wanted to say that I'm sorry you felt embarrassed by your post. You were open about where you were and no one looks down on you for feeling awful from having such vivid and distressing nightmares. My goodnes, I've had friends in the same boat and believe me, I'm very sorry you're going through this.
