Nightly nightmares

Elfilis

I’m really struggling lately due to having such horrible nightmares! I mean last two night have involved me having jabs in my arms and even feet but the horrible thing is I can feel the jabs in my nightmares and I can feel them even when I'm awake. I’m also vividly seeing all the horrible people who have bullied me and I'm either reliving traumatic scenarios or I’m making them up in my sleep. Also keep having nightmares of dying or losing my mum. I’m waking up all hot and tacky and sometimes even crying a lot and for the whole day I’m just so jittery and on edge, then I go to bed and the whole vicious circle begins again. Last night for some reason my nightmare was all the bullies ganging up on me then next thing is I’m dying of birth complications?! I mean don’t ask me where the latter came from. 

Does anyone know how to stop the nightmares? Or is this something I’ll just have to deal with?

  • I think there’s likely to be lot of advice online about this? Presumably improving your sleep habits overall is likely to help. When I was recently experiencing toothache I had some very upsetting dreams - presumably due to my sleep being disturbed by pain and just generally not being well rested and getting into the deeper sleep stage of sleep. Avoiding eating late can be helpful too - so that you’re not being troubled by stomach discomfort or indigestion. Is your bed comfortable? Is your bedroom at a comfortable temperature? Looking at all these things might help. Research online - there’s bound to be some helpful suggestions from others who struggle in this way. Good luck.

    Well I have got a new bed which I’m getting used to but I do think it’s very comfy. I listen to music of a night but it tends to be on YouTube so it may get interrupted with ads, I was going to get my ocd cd player out though so I could try that. I don’t have my tea too late but I do tend to have a few biscuits and milk to help me sleep. Will do some research though.
