Erm I guess I thought here would be the place to post this...

I've been having a lot of trouble lately with dreams seeming too real... I'll wake up but not enough to know where I am and start going crazy. I'll also get triggered by something, and flash straight back to it. Memories take over my presence of mind and I just go nuts... often someone else comes out after a while but is there anything I can do to ... snap out of it or something?

Thanks everyone

examples
Warning: TRIGGERS below PLEASE be careful, you don't have to read this I wanted to get it out-
~today I just kept repeatedly bringing objects under the covers with me, or the two cats we have here, I think I was looking for my cat who is no longer here and I couldn't find her and I kept looking and looking -which makes no sense now but I couldn't get past that in the moment and I kept crying and wandering and wandering...
~in one dream someone was kissing me... a stranger and I wanted gone... and I became half awake and starting whacking myself over and over... (no I don't think I was abused in that way, just a dream)
~a few times I got triggered into my fear of hospitals and we kept seeing what we thought could happen to us if we got sent in there... I then start fighting the non existent forces, try to hide, hit myself

When these things happen, I go crazy, I fall to si urges, ... sometimes other parts come out and take care of things, that's how it's gone so far but when I , ME am here it's crazy.
I'm afraid I'll hurt the ones around me, I'm afraid I'll hurt myself more...

(((((Turquoise)))))

Such a long day for me here.....

I don't know what to say right now. I have had horrible dreams that seemed so real. I can empathize with that!!

Just wanted to offer hugs. Maybe, I can offer more later. Tonight I am just crap!!

understand what you are saying.
have you checked about your meds if you are on any?
found for me that certain meds do that.

what are you doing before you go to bed?
are you in a "good place" or have you watched somethng on tv that is
too much action or loud or chaotic or something like that?
did you chat with ppl about things even if not triggering,
perhaps the subj matter was odd or something.

we have found that there are things we can't do before going to bed shows we can't watch
even chatting.

don't know if this is relevant. just some thoughts

I guess I haven't been in good places before bed.

I'm not on any meds right now, I don't really want them
