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 your cPTSD is probably the source of the issues from what you describe in different posts here - previous traumas have not been sufficiently resolved to allow you to move past them.

    The anxiety stemming from this is most likely making your EUPD and BDD flare up.

    To move past this you really need a good therapist who can help you unpack those traumas, come to terms with the pain it is causing you and start the healing process.

    That would be my thoughts on the situation, but I'm just a random off the internet so don't take this as medical advice please Slight smile

    Ahh it’s ok I respect your opinion and trying to help me so I’m very grateful! I’m actually seeing a psychologist one a month, but I have been doing a lot of detailed notes for her so she can understand me better and understand my “hot spot triggers” but I seem to have a lot of them. I do agree that the CPTSD is no doubt the source of this and of course the autism doesn’t help either. As I said my mind is clearly very jumbled up right now. If only we could control our dreams somehow haha
