Nightmares!

[xandyx]

Does anyone have really crappy nightmares...like you feel ***for real*** like your back there again?? Grrrrr...I woke myself up a little while ago from not feeling like I could breathe and stuff and for 5 seconds I thought i was still in the dream or something. GR GR GR GR :mad: Now idk if I will even sleep again.

I hate my life! Why me? :(

Edit: sometimes I have flashbacks/nightmares because of some bad things...and just wrote this. Sorry. Better now but can't delete

[xandyx]

Yea, figured no one would care. As usual. :-\

First of all, just because you didn't get any replies doesn't mean nobody cares. You just have to be patient because people have lives outside of the internet. I don't have any nightmares, so I don't know what you're going through.

Yeah well not many people know...and it's lonely. I feel like the freak of VT and the rest of the world to. Not even the other depressed or hurt people understand.

i know how u feel i suffer from ptsd and have flashbacks and night mares and i get realy nervous around people because of it people often ask me why im nervous when theres nothing to be nervous or afraid of and am offten told im just being a baby i sometimes feel like im the only one who knows how it feels cause others dont understand me

[Zenos]

Yeh I do and mine always seems to be of a Lovecraftian bent too

[Karkat]

Oh I hardly doubt that NO ONE knows what you're going through, I'm kind of a nutter.

I have quite a few mental issues, and even quirks.

I have horrible nightmares. Some PTSD related, some just out of nowhere. It's actually pretty rare to have a dream that ISN'T a nightmare for me.

Your not the only one I promise. I have ptsd to and other stuff. I know how you feel about people thinking its weird. I always love when people say "get over it" or "man up" when it comes to flashbacks and stuff. I mean at least if your a guy. The thing I hate the most is that uncomfortable silence or something when your in a bad frame of mind. Like the awkwardness. Like when I saw someone that looked like my "dad" that I hate and had to walk out of the place. I kinda raised my voice, which I do sometimes when I'm kind of triggered. I just wanted to get out any way possible. :\

Sorry you have nightmares to. PTSD sucks! :( I'm the same way...it's pretty rare for me to have no problems all night. Something goes wrong, big or small, most nights. Even if it's just my little bro walking in my room and I wake up fast, like jolted awake from the noise. I don't know if that makes sense or whatever.

Glad I'm not the only one here. It's just that talking to a therapist or whatever doesn't always feel the same as with other people like me. :what:

Yeah, I understand how that goes.

I suffer from really horrible nightmares, too because of something I experienced as a lil kid...I see horrible things, and feel like suffocating...I always wake up in total panic. I got better over the years but it's still there...I had to go to a therapist because of this as a kid but I stopped going there as I didn't find it helpful to talk to her, it was just weird...cuz once you are awake and have recovered from it it's sounds kinda unreal.

[dame]

i used to have pretty bad nightmares, but now it's rare that i have a dream in general, at least that i can remember.

[radsniper]

i have them sometimes
i wake up in a sweat-a heavy sweat
and can't fall asleep-except for when i'm totally exausted

This sounds exactly like me.

I saw a few therapists between like age 10-11. I kinda go every once in a while since 12 to now (13, almost 14) if like something bad comes up. I go in waves so much idk why. Theres like some things that happened when i was a kid to and plus my "dad" is crazy literally. Like been in a nut ward crazy. >.< I hope I don't get that or have it from him.

Well, I only saw therapist when I was forced to by foster parents or social workers, I usually hate going there in general now that I'm back with my Dad I don't have to go anymore.

Well, I dunno about your Dad's illness and if you could get it...for me my Dad and I are both bipolar, this can run in the family I was told by my therapist.

Some of my nightmares my stem from my illness somehow, that a complete different type of nightmare but the really bad ones come from some real horrible catastrophy I was in the middle of as a kid and which left me scared for life kinda.

When I wake from a nightmare I just try to get my mind off it as quickly as possible by listening to music or whatever...One therapist once wanted me to write them down in some kind of diary but I found that I really don't want to think about them and so I do anything to forget about them...I have also stopped talking about them to other people. My Dad's not really understanding about it anyway, so yeah...

Yeah my grandparents (who I live with, and are kinda like my fosters and who foster other kids) made me go to a therapist back then to. I hated going then and don't really love going now but at least mine is kind of nice and I do need it sometimes (like after a really bad flashback, anger problem, or whatever) if Im honest. Like my thinking takes a left turn and I gotta go straight. But I don't think everyone is like that, so it could be different for you. I can totally see why you would hate going there. I know when I had to go they had like 20,000 questions and I didn't want to talk about it at all! I know I yelled at them a bunch of times maybe loud when I was 10-11. lol :-x

My dad has schizoaffective disorder and I think manic depression. idk if those pass on or what. :-\

I hope us talking about it here isn't bad for you, sorry. :( I'm sorry you had a bunch of catastrophes. It must be hard. But at least your not alone here. I don't really talk about it much myself. I just think its cool to meet other people like me here. Im surprised

Nope, I don't mind talking about these things...I just don't like talking to therapists about it. I prefer talking to someone who doesn't fake knowing how I feel just he read a book during college...

So yeah, don't worry...and even if you are not comfortable with talkijg about your experiences...you don't have to hesitate to ask me stuff...for me it's okay as long as it won't trigger anything bad in you.

I get nightmares too but i learned to learn from them if that makes any sense.
You may feel bad during it but in the end you can learn from it or even draw inspiration from it

[imthomas]

I have those sometimes
