Scared to sleep...

Hay. I think you should say prayers

@HumanPersonThingy Hello there. I am sorry to hear your having trouble sleeping due to consistent nightmares. Do you currently see a Therapist or Counselor? Have you tried keeping a dream journal? I would suggest writing out your dreams when you have them, talk to someone you trust about the dreams you are having, & consider Talk Therapy. It seems as if the nightmares are trying to tell you something and until you deal with them head on, they will not go away. If you have past trauma then yes you definetly need to talk everything out so you can get some relief. I understand it is scary but you will get through this. Face your fears, keep fighting. I wish you calm and much relief. Feel better soon🌻

@HumanPersonThingy CBD is not all the same. Some have THC in them and may be a factor in having nightmares. I find a warm shower and music or a body scan help me relax enough to go to sleep.

Hello, Do you think the medication is causing the nightmares?

Me too.. mine is worst cuz I have good imagination. So my flashbacks are terrifying. The worst thing is a part of me is conscious so I know this are all fake. But at the same time I’m like scared all the time. I tried the imagination therapy (I don’t know the correct name) but it didn’t work anymore. Counting colours too didn’t work anymore. Sleeping pills too lol. It’s the psychologist said I have ptsd. But I am going to psychiatrist to have a formal diagnosis cuz I’m so freaking helpless I can’t function like I do anymore. Eczema too severe case. Fml haha. I just wanna get fixed but it’s so tiring to try and try and try you know. No one understands. Hurts the most when it’s the woman who gave birth to me inflicted it. And my dad didn’t really do anything like useful one. And religion is the thing that drove this to me so no i don’t care about faith in religion sorry.. I just need scientific help.

Consider experimenting with various routines, try diffusing different scents every night and see which or if they relax you, if you sllep with lights off try lights on and vice versa, search for "mindful meditation evening" on youtube and complete a session before sleeping.
