How Did You Sleep Last Night?

I sleep a bit, wake with a nightmare, and repeat. This wasn't so bad before exhaustion kicked in. Now, I'll drop into REM sleep pretty quickly, and awaken, 20minutes or less after falling asleep.

I'm getting sleep medications soon, this has been going on for weeks.
 
I spent the night in my closet hugging my teddy and hiding from my nanny.

Did I mention that I got her fired in March of '05? :O_o:

Nobody is more confused than I am when I end up in the closet hiding from my nanny and my teacher, or standing in the corner of the room for being bad.

I think it's safe to say that I got no sleep, and I'm going crazy because I'm starting to act out my trauma and actually believe that it's happening over again and that I'm actually 11-13 years old.

I slept horribly, kept waking up and got up with a tremendous headache. I hope I can take a nap some time in the afternoon.
 
Dear sleep,

I don't know if you remember me -my name is Jennifer and I am eighteen years old, I haven't seen you for the past month. You keep running away from me, and I can't keep trying to play hide and seek or tag with you, because I can never find or catch you. :( Please come back. I miss you.

Love Jen.

(Basically, I'm still not sleeping and I can't sleep, not even in my closet anymore. And I get kicked out of my mother's bed now-my dog stole the pillow that was reserved for ME! :( )
 
I woke up at about 1am after an hr. and a half of sleep.

I woke up hurting really bad emotionally and stuck in some unraveling memories, tears and grief after a sad nightmare of sorts. Which while thereafter being too stuck and scared to communicate, made me feel all the worse as did some flashbacks, intrusive memories and memory of things that I had forgotten or perhaps never retained and comprehended. :( I still feel deeply sad by all this and how unexpected and sudden.
