How Did You Sleep Last Night?

I had another nightmare last night, worst one for a while, it was a really bad one, which left me totally confused, and it took my brain longer than usual to realise where I was.

I hate having these nightmares, everyone is an event I had seen or attended, they are so real, it's hard to describe, I can't explain them, even when I was talking about them, when I was getting therapy a few years ago.

So I have no chance of explaining them in writing! all I know is! that they are scaring the crap out if me! that's why I'm so scared if sleeping, just in case............
 
Great! Woohoo!!! I've been an insomniac my whole life. I had to quit ambien because I started getting super drunk on it...was getting a little dangerous. It was really hard to get over knocking myself out at night, but I switched to more subtle non-sedative meds and am doing okay (a little amitriptyline, a little gabapentin, and usually one Benadryl).
 
I had one nightmare last night..woke up sweaty, tense, shaky. I felt dirty. I always feel so dirty after certain nightmares..so I took a shower, but still, I felt disgusting and ashamed. Immediately had to go to work and spent the first several hours trying to get my shit together. I felt very uneasy all day. Hoping for a more peaceful night tonight, though.
