Hello, I am so sorry that things seem to be flashing back through your dreams. Understandably, this has caused much distress. I am so glad that you are here at 7cups and are able to talk about what you are feeling. That is a big, giant step. I can relate to what you are experiencing myself, as I have had some of those same things happen to me. In the subconscious mind, things that are unresolved have a tendency to show up there. Maybe what I call unresolved issues. Now, that has triggered even more flashbacks. I don't have a good way of telling you how to handle them.

May I ask if you have a therapist to whom you can explain those dreams? I talk and tell my therapist about my dreams or nightmares, and she is able to help me understand how they play a role in things past that I still have not been able to resolve. Here at  7 Cups, they offer the ability to talk to a therapist for a fee. Also, sometimes we can talk and helps us gain more insight into what we are experiencing. Nevertheless, we are here to support you as you are on this healing journey like the rest of us. You are not alone❤️

Hello, I'm sorry to hear you have been having this experience; it's horrible that people have not been treating you well today, and you deserve better than that. Some people may say it's just a dream but dreams can be a reflection of your subconscious feelings, and it sounds like you really want to have a good friend. Having a good friend can mean the world and be transformative in life, and I've also struggled with finding good friends and understand the importance of having a good friend. I'm sorry that you had flashbacks as soon as you woke up; I'm not sure exactly what you are going through, but I've also had flashbacks, and they have been deeply painful to deal with. I really feel for you and hope that you can work through this trauma and never feel afraid to reach out on here again. I'll definitely reply if you tag me on this or another post; it's okay to share about these things and reach out for support as trauma and loneliness is really hard to deal with.
