How Did You Sleep Last Night?

Got to sleep about 2am. Had this nightmare, we were in Venice Italy. My child went on a boat trip with his friends. Suddenly it started to rain and flood. Then the sky went black and a hurricane appeared. We were inside it and the building was being ripped to pieces. After the storm had passed the buildings was flooded, there were bodies everywhere. I swam in the water to find my child. I found him alive but hysterical. I also dreamt I was someone else which was weird.
 
I am sleeping almost all the time. I saw KP was doing it too for the last couple of days. Question: Has anyone had depression affect them like that? I've heard of it but never experienced it. I really don't know what to do about it. I am just too tired to fight it.
 
Guess who slept well?

Not me! I've been having body memories tonight and my shoulder really hurts. I have school in the morning and I'm not looking forward to functioning on 0 hours of sleep in 98 hours.

I'm surprised Mommy and Daddy haven't heard me crying at all during any of those nights and haven't noticed the circles under my eyes. I must be good at hiding how far the abuse really went. :<
 
I'm still sleeping well. In fact, between going to bed at 11.30pm on Friday night and Monday morning I've slept for over 34 hours. I am a hibernating dormouse :sleep:.

Has anyone had depression affect them like that?

I've heard of it and that may be it. For me, I seem to put so much effort into coping and doing things all week that by the weekend when H is home I know it is safe to switch off.

I am just too tired to fight it

Listen to your body and rest if you need to. I don't think the weather helps, if it had been warm and sunny I would have felt different. Instead, wintery showers with hailstones make me want to hibernate.
 
I am going to listen to you, your hubby (he told you that you must need it), and my body. I have to believe there is a reason for this, Kath. This is actually the first time I ever remember sleeping well. I know that this will pass too. Also, don't I have the right to take care of myself a little bit? Maybe I should just enjoy the sleep and relaxation it brings???!! Thanks for the advice, forum friend.:)
 
The freakiest dreams. I went from being happy to being attacked.

I went from dreaming about Viggo Mortensen to my ex mother in law and husband.

I dreamt I was dying and the first two people wouldn't help me and I was saved by the third. However, then the others came back and told me what a loser I was for asking for help (even though in my dream I was bleeding to death).

I dreamt ghosts were coming after my daughter in a big haunted house. It was a big, beautiful place like the house in Rose Red. However, it was really scary in my dream.

I got bit and attacked by animals. First it was a cat that had 8 kittens (a neighbor cat) and all the cats wanted me to take care of them. Then the neighbor (Kathy Bates) came to me and told me not to worry about it. However, they were little tiny kittens crying and crying and rubbing around my feet.

Then it was horses that kept grabbing me over the fence and biting me. Not just one horse but over and over and I kept trying to get them to let me go, but when one would let go another would grab me. Then in my dream I woke up (even though I was still asleep) and I had a rash and bite marks over my forearms. I kept telling people that it proved it was real but nobody would listen.

In the middle of the other dreams I had a dream I was cleaning, cooking, and doing laundry. I was trying to keep up with all the things that needed to be done and I couldn't. I walked into a tent that was in my living room (dreams..ugh) and there was so many objects that were crowding my life. There were refrigerators, microwaves, dressers, a lot of big giant furniture, baby furniture, etc. and all of a sudden there were lots of people in my house and one older woman started telling me I was a minority and a loser.

I think I had more dreams in one night that I have had for a long time. What the heck? I am not doing drugs so don't understand.
