Aren't The Ptsd Triggers And Flashbacks Excruciating Enough?!

[.45 Princess]

Today I've been so irritable, agitated, and straight up angry at the world for no reason.

My mind hasn't been flooding with overwhelming stress or anything that usually drives me to this point; all day.

The only thing I can vaguely remember is my boyfriend waking me this morning because I had another night terror. I don't remember what it was about.

I went from feeling depressed, worthless a couple weeks ago to feeling a litttle better and now this.

I'm so worked up, can't sit still. I've been trying to come up with things to do that usually distracts and calms me down (gym, washing my car) but I either don't want to do it or am too angry to do it.

This feels suffocating to the point I wish I could just die. It's taking a little too much will power to stop myself from driving my car off a cliff which is ridiculous.
I keep thinking: animals get euthanized to stop suffering, why can't I?

My daughter went through all the feelings you described. She lived in a different city than I , her doctor put her on Prozac, ( which is prohibited for young adults ) ...Predictably, she became more depressed and suicidal ( which is why it is not for young adults)

Anyway, she stopped taking them. I put her on 1 week of htp5 Valerian Root caps (for night time)

Most people with depressive disturbances are also dangerously low on B3 ( Niacin) as well.

After about the 5th day of htp5 she began to feel better Valerian capsules are basically for rattled nerves, but some people respond better to an herb (liquid) called Skullcap

Ps: Everyone is different, so if you are not getting results with the htp5..you can also try SamE ( another supplement)

I hope all this helps- most of it can be found by ordering online, or at Costco for reasonable prices.

Be careful with supplements. Some can cause problems with meds. Call your pharmacy and make sure they are OK to take.

Are night terrors a trigger sometimes, if they place us mentally in a trauma event? If so, would this cause the feelings hammering you now?

I feel like they are.
