I have not been able to sleep tonight, so many flashbacks throughout the day has frightened me, so I turned to this forum instead.

I would so love to be able to go to bed relaxed and just drift off to sleep. Instead I am anxious to sleep, because of the nightmares. My partner woke me up because I was thrashing and shouting. I was sweating so bad I needed to change my pj's. So instead of sleeping, I keep myself awake, on my...
