Afraid To Go To Sleep

[trying2movefwd]

Im afraid to go to sleep at the moment. My mind has decided to bring something else to the surface. ..you know how it seems (at least for me) that suppressed memories come on like some dominoes. One brings on a few more!!!! I can't sleep in this state and staying awake sucks too!

I know how you feel exactly with that. If its not your anxiety from your ptsd keeping us awake its something else tied to it. I usually have flashbacks when I go to try to sleep. Some say that that happens when your trying to sleep because you are trying to relax your body and mind and your subconscious is sets free everything you repress, and is like BAM no sleep for you tonight!

I try to fool myself, in the way of saying I'm not going to sleep, just laying down.

I find the only successful or partly successful way to get off the track of the dominoes is to willfully change the input.

I find sometimes just listing what I'm grateful for helps.
