How Did You Sleep Last Night?

Sleeping okay last night. Finding there is fear in going to bed.

I had a nightmare that made me ask in my dream itself "is this a flashback?" Why wont the pigs leave me alone when I finally sleep? These nightmares are like flight through severe weather!

@Ed Norton The nightmares are difficult. Self soothing and self care are important during the days after you have such crappy sleep.

Ms Spock you are simply the best!

@Ed Norton I am a legend in my own mind! ;) The only place where it matters.

We all need reminding about the basic stuff Ed. Have you got some self soothing and self care lists?

Well not really but i do love music and animals and I read and reread that book that I use as my avatar Handling The Big Jets...in fact it is the only book I can stay focused on.

I see that Oz sense of humor in your last post.

Thank you for caring despite your own difficulties it means a lot to me. :)

It took a long time and some sleeping pills to gain at least 3 hours of sleep, after several nights with disturbed sleep, nightmares and severe anxiety states (fear of death).

My chronically sinus infections have started to spread into my ears. It started two weeks before Christmas. First it was just my right ear, but now it spread also in my left ear. :cry: My hearing went down from a very good hearing (over 100% down to 71% in my right ear and 86 in my left ear, within just 3 days!!! I'm waiting for the next visit at my ENT-doctor in 3 days.

keep dreaming I have wet myself - what is that about

Dear KP, my first thought about that was "Maybe fear of losing control? Or fear to embarrass yourself / make yourself voulnerable (with something hidden) by revealing "it" accidentally". ...Well, it's just my first thoughts...

Sending a dry but gentle hug your way, if you want it.:hug:

So when you have a good patch write out the music that you love, what about animals brings you happiness and kept that Handling Big Jets on hand for emergency situations like self soothing.

Absolutely! Sassy and Cheeky - well some of us in Australia are like that.

thank you for caring despite your own difficulties it means a lot to me:)

You are Welcome @Ed Norton. It is kind of what we do here. Everyone helps out. Some read and feel compassion. Some read and take notes. Some people will post to your posts. Sometimes people leave messages on your wall. Everyone has different advice and perspectives and a variety of ways of expressing themselves. Some people like Anthony, Nicolette and the moderators keep the whole place going. Occasionally they help us out by sending us reminder emails of the rules, which function to keep this place ship shape for those tired PTSD affected brains of ours. The reminders usually have a link so you can learn the rules clearly. I appreciate that.

Sleeping late and waking late. But I was out late last night. Sleeping in my own bed. Such a big accomplishment.
