Sufferer Nightmares And Defeat

[somedaygirl]

Hi All, I'm new to this site. I joined it hoping to connect with people who know what it's like. Right now my biggest problem is nightmares. The past month they've been more and more active. I had two last night and one just now during a nap.

I can't seem to escape them and it's driving me insane. I'm always stressed, tired, and afraid of everyone I meet. I feel weak and damaged and haunted by the flashbacks that constantly come. I'm also alone.

Welcome. :)

Have you heard of the blood pressure medication, Prazosin? It, and other similar meds, are recommended to combat PTSD nightmares. Despite its side effects, it has been a miracle drug for me. I should have listened to the wonderful people here and my t long before I did. :oops::)

I suffer a lot with nightmares and flashbacks ..the most important thing I learnt is that my dreams cannot kill me. Often dreams can be lessons trying to tell us things . I keep a dream diary and I could see a certain pattern that has emerged which is given me a lot of clues as to what the issues are.
