    Bad Dreams Increasing After Starting Therapy. Anyone Else?

    I've had horrid, vivid, gruesome, and often demoic nightmares since I was six. I was on Prazosin but it made my blood pressure drop so low I was dizzy and nearly passed out a few times. So I'm on Terazosin now. It doesn't help much, I still dream and I can recall the feelings/jist of the dream...

    Poll Is There A Specific Genre Of Music That Calms You Down?

    Rock, especially guitar heavy or with screaming...it helps release my tension and anger. I am also a die hard LP fan. In high school I could recant all the lyrics to all the songs of Hybrid Theory in order of track. I also love Disturbed. Saw them in concert and they are amazing!

    You just need to learn to relax, you have a lot of stress and anxiety. Oh, it's that simple is it? I don't know HOW to relax and no sh*t, why do you think I'm here?

    Sufferer Officially Diagnosed. Childhood Emotional Abuse "survivor"...

    @radicalgratitude I know having traits isn't the same as having the disorder... The more I learn about Ptsd the more I see how it fits more so than the bpd I originally thought I had. I've tried cbt and talk therapy and neither has been helpful...or at least not helpful enough. From what my...

    Sufferer Officially Diagnosed. Childhood Emotional Abuse "survivor"...

    If you can call me surviving - heh. I've been to several therapists and a couple psychiatrists. I've asked about BPD repeatedly because so many of my symptoms seem to fit into that diagnosis to me. One told me I have severe anxiety and abandonment issues. One looked at me for 2 seconds and said...
