Scared to sleep...

...See more Hi, I don't know what to do right now, because I've always had nightmares, but they keep getting more frequent (2 or 3 times a week minimum) and more scary. I know I'm currently having a PTSD flare up, but why do the nightmares keep getting worse and worse? They started getting worse even months before the flare up started! I had to get up an hour early today because I was too terrified to try to go back to sleep because of last night's nightmare, and I was sobbing for over half an hour cause I was just so scared. I keep thinking "ok it can't get any worse than that one" but then it always does, and I'm scared that it'll keep doing that. I don't want to go to sleep knowing I'm risking a nightmare, especially of that level. And this is even with using high dose CBD to try to relax my brain before bed! I can't use melatonin to get me to sleep because it makes them more vivid and more frequent. I don't know what I did to deserve this and I don't know what to do to help/treat/fix it... :(
