How Did You Sleep Last Night?

[DianeB]

I woke up twice. First time a nightmare I can't recall which is unusual, but scarey enough to be on the edge of a panic attack.

I have a very very sentimental bracelet. I have had made from my Mum, Nans, Mine and daughter's jewelery. My daughter and I both designed it and on the front it has a mother holding her daughter, and the two diamonds out of my mums engagement ring are where the hearts would be. Its beautiful and when I wear it I feel so close to Mum (who passed away 4 years ago).

My second nightmare was me frantically running around in an emotional state because I looked down and found the mother and daughter part of the bracelet missing :( I did have to get out of bed and actually go and check it was OK.

I wasn't myself when I went to bed, but when I woke up this morning, I'm okay. So I think we must have slept.

Very, very deeply, thanks to a combination of Seroquel and cannabis. Most of my night was dreamless; or at the very least, I have no recollection of any dreams.

Though, this morning I had a disturbing dream about returning to school, featuring a lot of people from my past. I kept noticing white bits falling out of people's mouths or stuck to their lips. More and more of these white bits were appearing on everyone's mouths or falling out of their mouths, and I eventually realised when these white bits were now pouring out of people's mouths whenever they spoke or opened their mouths, that these white things were maggots. Hundreds and hundreds of maggots. Ugh!

Slept more when I got home from an appointment I had to attend at 9am. Slept deeply and soundly, woke up at 5pm. Am still very tired, as though I've run a marathon. A friend of mine with C-PTSD told me that it's common to feel utterly washed out for a few days after a major flashback meltdown, which I had a couple of nights ago. Just exhausted.

I had less trouble going to bed last night. I let myself sleep in this morning. Didn't have so much trouble getting up.

My massage therapist finished at 930pm last night. I took a bath and went to bed. I slept until 5am without waking. I got to recommend depp tissue massage therapy. Especially if you can find one that is easy to talk with.

I would so love to be able to go to bed relaxed and just drift off to sleep. Instead I am anxious to sleep, because of the nightmares. My partner woke me up because I was thrashing and shouting. I was sweating so bad I needed to change my pj's. So instead of sleeping, I keep myself awake, on my iPad and on the forum.

I went to bed early last night and I slept through the night.

Last night I wanted to get some sleep so I went to bed "early". Around 12:30am. Two nightmares and a disturbing dream later I was almost sorry I slept 9 hours. It's 12:10am now and I kinda want to go to bed. But I'm worried I'll have more nightmares if I sleep another 7-9 hours. I usually stay up as late as I can so that I sleep so deep that I can't remember any dreams. Sometimes that works. But I'm tired and I want to sleep. I'm conflicted tonight :(.

I went to bed around 1 am. I am glad I slept anyways. Not wanting to fuss why it didn't went the way I wished. Most important thing is I got sleep. that's all.
