Nightmares are really scaring me

[Love.Hate]

Last night.. the night before.. and the night before that.

Im just terrified of going to bed tonight, I keep having these horrible nightmares about self harm.. well im not sure if it is that. Its other people hurting me.. literally.

Like last night, a girl that used to bully me tied me to a chair.. pulled up my sleeves and was shouting at me.. pointing at the scars. I dont remember what she said. But she was shouting.. It was horrible. Then she got a huge knife and slowly started cutting me :(

I woke up so scared.. even thinking about it now makes me want to cry.

I dont know how to stop these awful dreams. I just want them to stop.. i keep going through phases of bad dreams, then im fine for a bit. Then they come back worse. Much worse.

/rant i guess.

I used to have recurring dreams about certain things that have happened to me, and I'd wake up in a total panic. When I woke up I wouldn't remember immediatly what I was panicking about, but i'd know there was something making me feel unsafe and like I wanted to cry, and then i'd remember later.

This happened a few times, on consecutive nights and then it just stopped. Hopefully it'll be the same for you and eventually they'll just stop. :hug:

I get the occasional nightmare now as well. I used to have them almost every night though. My psychiatrist prescribed me some medication that is helping in all areas really, increasing my appetite, helping me with my insomnia, and most of all, my anxiety. She prescribed it to me because I came to her with recurring nightmares and night terrors. Often medications commonly prescribed for PTSD help with the anxiety and frequent nightmares. If it doesn't die down, you may want to look into something like that? I'm personally against medication but it's the only medication I will take because it just gets to the point where you're desperate. Nightmares are not fun, especially when you get them that often and you don't feel safe to fall asleep because of them.
