I don't like to sleep. I hate that I did last night and the night before.
I have these dreams..they are horrible..I hate them. In these dreams my grandmother is in the background..she doesn't talk..she doesn't move she just points at me. Well last night had to be the worst. I had a dream I went to a therapist and she was standing in the door pointing and making this horrible gasping noise. Later in the dream I was at a hospital and there was blood in front of the ER doors and in front of every door in the hospital and she was still there standing,pointing,gasping. Needless to say ever since I woke up this morning I haven't been feeling great. I feel so scared and eerie so guilty. I can't feel the ground under my feet yet I can see it. I feel so unreal yet at the same time I feel like I am going to crawl right out of my skin. I have to go and make some coffee so I won't fall asleep tonight I can't handle anymore dreams like that.

I know from my friends experience that dreams could trigger his. But his were a result of combat. He got control of his after awhile bit I don't remember how.

If I can get a hold of him I'll post what he did to this topic it might help you.

My greatest problem with PTSD is the nightmares I have had virtually every single evening for the past 14 years.

They generally leave me paralyzed and retraumatized both mentally and physically, where the excess trauma is somatized. At times, my brain chemistry — already in shambles — is completely discombobulated and I suffer for days, even weeks, at a time.

This is where I am currently at. It’s been a week straight since I have functioned. My mind is a mess and my body is hurting as well. It seems everything I do makes it worse. So I end up staying in bed for the most part crippled by this ungodly disease.

After a fews days, I fell into depression — which is the natural response to trauma. But since I am on two anti-depressants, so I don’t go all the way down like I used to. But it just makes things worse.
