I can feel myself slipping back into the clutches of my ptsd. The nightmares are slowly regaining a foothold despite all the positive talk that I give myself before bed. As a result, my energy level during the day has diminished. My anger is right at the surface.

Last week, my van overheated, and I had to have the radiator replaced to the tune of $1000 or so. It was just one more thing in a series of negative turns.

The darkness is closing in and I am terrified. I don't want to lose myself again.

do you have someone there to support you?

I'm doing better today, thank you. I actually got some decent sleep last night. And I talked about my nightmares to my husband... he is my biggest support. I think that getting it all out helped.

Yes, sleep is good.....very good...exhaustion allows in the bad feelings. I don't know if you have anything in your life that you really enjoy, but when I start noticing that I am slipping, I start delving into my bigest interest.
