Its Back...

[SuZina]

I have had PTSD for most of my life and just recently found out about it.

I have nightmares and migraines and I feel like I am in some kind of fog. Whenever I have nightmares I can never shake the aftermath...it alters my whole day and sometimes days turn into weeks.

I was doing good for a while and don't really know what triggered all this, but its frustrating, why cant I just be normal? Why do I have to suffer like this because of things that have happened to me. I think I need too start seeing a shrink again.

The nightmare just keeps replaying over and over again in my head which is pounding.. I feel so tired from not sleeping well but the thought of being asleep and having another nightmare is a a little overwhelming. My head has been hurting for days and nothing really helps. Nothing interest me, not tv or music or talking to friends, I don't really want to leave the house, I feel like I am becoming depressed again and my boyfriend just doesn't know how to understand. I feel withdrawn and like I cant handle much more. this isn't very fun.

I'm sorry you are having these awful nightmares. I have had them and they are terrible. They do carry over into real time because this stuff you dream you are actually experiencing on some levels while you sleep. It's exhausting to say nothing of their emotional impact.

For me the why of it is - the human condition. This is how we are built. If x, y and z occurs, the result is a, b and c.

Please waste no time in meeting up with a doc again.

For me, when the life is wiped out of me, music can bring me back somewhat. Usually music close to what I am feeling way down deep.

Hope you feel better soon!

I think it is a good idea for you to reach out for help. Don't wait, like I did, for the depression to get worse or the nightmares for that matter.

I wish you peaceful sleep.
