What The Hell Happened?

[Deadman]

So yesterday was not a good day for me. Too many triggers. First an SUV 'accidentally' drove up my driveway. I thought the driver might have been my ex. I can't imagine any other woman wearing Hijab with a leather jacket. They left before I could get out to see for sure.

Then there was an an explosion that sounded like a grenade. I'm sure it was just someone blasting a stump but...

Finally there were helicopters. I recognize the sounds of the ones that usually come here. These were not them. I was on edge all day.

I slept pretty well last night but I woke up feeling really hungover. It wasn't due to alcohol since I haven't had a drink since New Year's Eve.

Earlier this morning I noticed the back of my head felt bruised. Just now I noticed there is a dent in the bathroom wall. A back of my head sized dent.

Now I'm not sure if I had a flashback while sleeping? Did I wake up go the bathroom, pass out, hit my head and then go back to sleep? I don't remember any nightmares. Usually they wake me.

Is it possible to have a flashback while asleep?

I thought I was past this shizz.

Is it possible to have a flashback while asleep?

Very much so.

Just as it's possible to nightmare of real life, or sequences of it.

I have had flashbacks in my sleep multiple times, so yes it is very possible. I hope your heads okay 0.o.

My first husband was a green beret medic in Vietnam and he suffered a lot of flashbacks in his sleep. Many were violently active, but some were much more subtle yet still incredibly draining. May the scene become more serene.....that was a lot to digest in one day.

My head is fine. On the outside anyway ;)

I went to the thrift store and bought myself one of those child gates. It occurred to me if what happened last night happens again I could accidentally pitch myself down the stairs.

Many of my Fb are in sleep...I sometimes wake in a different room/space, sometimes takes a long time to realize where I am and what has happened. I sometimes have bruises or cuts that are unexplained. take sweet care of yourself.
