Nightmares are back after nearly a decade of being gone.
The fact that the pedophile who molested me for four years has relocated to my city is effecting me so much pisses me off.
I'm frightened of the Nov 9 riots/bombings that will likely take place.
I may go to Vietnam next year.
I think I'll cancel my NM trip in March.

I get it, but there's that, and viewing it as a precise awareness of a threat, which is a helpful thing, on general?

I found that after some EMDR work, the nightmares intensified. There is a hand trick that I was taught for when the nightmares are deeply rooted flashback memories recounting the situation. Study your palm, as rarely it will be as detailed or as accurate within the high levels of adrenaline during nightmare recall.
When you are in the sleep mode and having the nightmare, focus on your palm, which will let you know it is the dream as the mind does not wish to stop alerting you and often allocates or focuses on the situation. Ask yourself to wake up as you study your palm. It may take a few times of practice, as the brain is on high alert feeding massive toxins for flight or fight.
*FYI- Sometimes, it takes a few times within the deeper dream levels of sleep, as the hijack may wish you to think that you are awake but are not because it is on high alert. So have a point of reference that is textile in your room that is also detailed and perhaps walk a bit once out of the loop.
Knowing you are safe now, may allow you to unravel some of the layers. Then little bit by little bit you can rewrite yourself into the script dream...as the empowered adult that you are currently are. It allows the memories to rewire the ending until it recognizes, you are no longer the victim but the survivor.
Anyway, it worked for me in some major parts of the night terrors and placed me back in the control feeling of some of the shadow lands.

Thanks @Recovery4Me !
Vulnerability is really over rated by 'healthy ' people.
Im trying to remember why I thought it would be helpful to pay strangers to listen to what living my worst
nightmares were like and the damage they did.
I feel like the most horrific and humiliating things that Ive lived through amount to a symbolic
1977 Winnebego parked in my driveway.
(If I could afford a driveway in san francisco, anonymous asshole)
It is not possible to convince me that the line of thought ...or the line of credit, justify the thought process behind that f*cking Winnebago.
Im not even functional right now, Id really rather be pissed off or slightly nuts than feel like this, its like someone drop kicked my heart and everything everywhere just makes me feel sad.
Cant work, cant eat , I just want my dog back.

Over the denial and on meds now. Thank you to all who've pushed me in the right direction.
How long does it take for Prazosin to work?
Emotions are overrated by healthy people, too.
Working on physical touch this week. Nope, nope, and nope.
Korean ribs for dinner anyone? *Almost* as good as TexMex. Okay, nope to that, too.

Still in awe after a pain free night!
So many animal appointments appointments to schedule.
Scheduling flight today and getting excited.
Doing at least just one thing for me today.
Nothing is a sweet a puppy kisses!

1. No more people today - prefer the calm of my hotel room.
2. Will sneak around the city of Luxembourg tomorrow - but not too long, too many people...wanna get a first impression.
3. Tired from driving and walking.
4. F*** you, boss! I never ever again will answer my phone, when you call!
5. Why is eating forbidden when souvenirs are sold?!

How the hell does "The Oatmeal" get almost a $1mil on Kickstarter, in one day for a $10k card game??
I need to "Kickstarter" my life
Mid October and it's 82F/28C outside (not that I am complaining)
So filled with anger the past few days and cannot pinpoint why
I might have bit off more than I can chew with my new coloring project
Watching the world pass me by
