So for the past month or so I have been experiencing the following,

I find it hard to get to sleep, then when I finally get to sleep I am dreaming but don't remember the dreams, but waking through the night either saying no or crying and drenched in sweat, all over but I feel cold. I sometimes feel a bit panicked and my heart is racing. This happens 2-3 times a night.

I am seeing a therapist as the moment do I mention this to her ?? or just not say anything.

Anyone else have this trouble ??

I used to have a similar problem, it was about a year ago when I was very deep in my depression. I'd awake a couple times a night feeling very scared and hopeless, I contributed it to my being in such a depressed state. I believe dreams try to tell you something, even when you cant remember them, they're a reflection of your deep and most centered emotions. You should tell your therapist, they might be able to help you find out why this is happening and help you through it

I had this happen to me about two years three years ago also. I would wake up in a cold sweat and I would wake myself up by yelling NO NO! in a panic. At the time I was going through a lot and was very depressed. I would for sure tell my T. They may help you understand what is going on.

I spoke to my psychologist yesterday, and she thinks I might need trauma therapy so I am having another assessment when I see her next x

Hey i had horrible night sweats for a few months just a little while back. Every single night soaked sheets. Then id change them and soak another set. It gets to the point where you finally give up and just sleep on them anyway. I also had, have, the extreme nightmares. The kinda stuff that'll mess ya up. I would say to absolutely talk to your therapist about it. Thats what they know, ya know! I would also say to have faith thay they should pass before too long at all, and be just another thing you beat. Anyway best of luck to you!

Found this thought it might help:



Night Terrors
People who have night terrors are often misdiagnosed. The most common one is a simple nightmare. Any of you who have had a night terror can say they aren't even close! Another common misdiagnosis (especially among veterans) is PTSD or Post Traumatic Stress Disorder.



Sudden awakening from sleep, persistent fear or terror that occurs at night, screaming, sweating, confusion, rapid heart rate, inability to explain what happened, usually no recall of "bad dreams" or nightmares, may have a vague sense of frightening images

There is a close association with psychopathology or mental disorders in adults that suffer from sleep terror disorder. There may be an increased occurrence of sleep terror disorder particularly with those that have suffered from post-traumatic stress disorder or PTSD and generalized anxiety disorder.
