Nightly nightmares

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?

  • hmmm... what they call "executive disfunction".   It was my "educated" guess that it could be the interpretation.

    Maybe you don't have to guess  about whether my suggestion is right or wrong.

    If all the clues are there it is possible to be reasonably sure of yes or no until over evidence come to light to change one's interpretation of things?

    Maybe give a percentage as to how much you believe something to be true?  The see if evidence comes up to change that percentage.

    PS you don't have to tell me or anyone else - letting yourself know might reduce the turmoil - ironically even if it is 50/50!
