Having Some Energy Troubles

[Wolvescry]

I have been having nightmares and avoiding sleeping, I have been waking up crying, or crying myself to sleep. I am just so tired. I have to take anxiety meds just to calm myself enough to get to sleep. But then I wake up exhausted. My mind is racing, and I can not focus as well on my studies. I feel exhausted. And scared.

I feel like I can't win, I have been pushing through the memories and flashbacks, and feelings of terror. but what else am to do when it starts effecting me physically. I know it is just temporary, the physical symptoms. But it is still hard. I wish there was a button I can press to turn my brain back on.

I am fighting, and for the most part I am fine.

Nightmares are the worse. Rats. You're having a rough patch lately. We never get warnings that nightmares are coming. I want a button to turn off my racing thoughts too. I have to share with you that since I started getting a Reiki, I have been sleeping through the night for three weeks straight. I still wake up feeling panic so I know I'm dreaming. I just don't get woken up by them. Maybe there really is something to energy healing. I had gotten so desperate, I tried it. So far so good.

I hope tonight will be peaceful for you. Sending comforting thoughts your way.

Wolvescry, I am so sorry to hear you are having such a rough time. Are the nightmares real memories forcing themselves into your sleep? Have you talked to anyone about the nightmares. Is there someone you can call in the night when you are having these nightmares that you can just talk to?

I don't have nightmares, but lately I have been having nights were I do not get into that deep sleep, and spend the night dreaming, and many times it is associated with my PTSD>

I sure hope this cycle of yours breaks soon, and you are able to sleep.
