@Smile,
I have the exact things happen to me. I'm afraid to sleep, the dreams and waking up shaking and the awful dread of the day. I need so much help in this area. I don't know what to do.
I have been feeling very scared, tired, like a freak at times. I'm wore out. Tried a new med. It didn't work. Discouraged. Overwhelmed when I think about school starting, and how am I going to handle it. Still no answer on my disability. Worried. Dreading bedtime, as my mind has been...
Feeling sick to my stomach. The "wait" to find out if my disability will continue is very stressful. Woke up feeling so tired and had to rush and get the kids ready, it's hard because I seem to freeze up. Worrying when school starts, how am I to keep up as I feel wore out, and so tired of all...
Right now I'm thinking, how am I going to make it through the day. Waking from a bad dream, doesn't make for an easy day. I hope I can self talk and think about good things.

I'm sorry, I've had the same thing happen to me. I didn't question the person, even though his family has known my family for many many years. It will be ok. :)

@Britt.f7
I know what you mean. Feeling anxious about friends calling me. Since the trauma I've shut down talking to a lot of people. They know something is wrong, and most of why but not the details. I'm afraid if I tell them they will think less of me.

I'm thinking I over did it this morning, got somethings accomplished, yet don't feel proud of myself, because I struggled so much just getting it done. Thinking back to when I didn't give the simplest things a second thought. Now the smallest of chores seem the biggest.
My way of "thinking"...
@conquer
I go through the same thing. I wasn't able to put it into words the way you did. I have a hard time with words for some reason. It's like my brain locks up. Just reading what you wrote, let me know that I'm not the only person in the whirlwind. (hugs)
@Mercy
I'm sorry you feel so bad. (hugs)I feel better than I did earlier. Even though I get on the verge of tears off and on. Made a decent dinner, made me feel good. Now I'm thinking about making monkey bread in the crockpot. Feeling productive inspite of.
@Ti Vu
I know what you by the anxiety coming at different hours and certain times of the day. Mine does the same thing, right now it's at it's highest from about 8:00 am, until about 4pm or so. Then goes up around bedtime, probably because I fear the dreams, jumps and jolts of fear during the...
