I just really started therapeutically working on my PTSD. So I'm still learning. I've dealt with anxiety and OCD. But this is turning out to be a different ball of wax.
I've always had issues sleeping -- insomnia and such. I haven't been sleeping well over the last couple of weeks and I've done more therapy and read more information about PTSD. But last night was like something I haven't dealt with before. I tossed and turned all night (not unusual), between sleep and awake (not unusual), but when I was cognizant of my awake time it was terror. I felt rolling moments of terror all through the night and I am just like ---WHY?
It was awful. I never could identify the source, what I was thinking or a trigger, but the feelings were overwhelming just the same.
I'm very tired this morning, but I don't want it to ruin my day. It also still hard to shake those scary feelings.
Would really appreciate any thoughts. Thank you for letting me share.
