I’ve had a bad past 4 months and I’ve tried to see consolers and therapists but they all judge won’t let me finish saying what I need to say I’m on edge I feel so many emotions from everyone else I was having sleep paralysis when everything first happened. Now I’m better but I still suffer from bad nightmares I sleep walk when I sleep I can’t sleep at all sometimes and when I do It’s maybe for 3 hours a night. I just need some kind of guidance I will not take any medications I don’t believe in taking meds if I’m desperate I’ll take a Tylenol if my migraine comes back. What should I do?

I just responded to one of your other posts. I sure hope the nightmares will stop.

I am so sorry you are struggling. I know nothing about sleep paralysis, so am of no use to you, but just wanted to say I support you.

Hello Emathtraveler: Welcome to Psych Central The Coping with Emotions forum, here on PC, may also be of interest. Here's a link:

https://psychcentralforums.com/coping-with-emotions/

You mentioned sleep paralysis. This is something I struggled with for many years (not so much anymore.) Somewhere I read that if one sleeps on one's back, this can tend to encourage episodes of sleep paralysis. I think this may be part of the reason I seldom have these anymore because for quite a few years now I've found I can't sleep on my back. I almost always sleep on one side or the other & occasionally on my stomach.

You mentioned having nightmares as well as having difficulty sleeping. Here are links to 4 articles, from Psych Central's archives, that touch upon these subjects:

More Than a Dream: The Science Behind Nightmares | Change Your Mind, Change Your Life

How to Eliminate Recurring Nightmares

The First Line of Treatment for Insomnia That'll Surprise You

Putting the Fear of Sleeplessness to Rest

I hope you find PC to be of benefit.

attentionThis is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.
