Hey guys. Over the past few weeks I've been having these really bad nightmares. I wake up wondering where I am. The dreams involve a hooded man being surrounded by fire. In my dreams I'm chasing this black hooded man trying to catch up to him when we both get surrounded by flames. He points at me and says "It's all your fault." Over and over and over. He goes to attack me and then I wake up. Another nightmare I had just last night was about me fighting a cloaked person and when I took off the hood by force the hooded person was me. I just don't understand. I wanna sleep one night without having these dreams. I'm on medication thats supposed to help with this and its not working anymore. I don't know what to do...please help. I'm mentally,physically and emotionally exhausted from all this. I wake up more tired then ever. Like I haven't even slept. I dread going to sleep because I know the nightmares are gonna come back..
 
I've been having bad night dreams, flashbacks, and triggers from when my dad's ex-wife physically, sexually, and emotionally abused me, the only way i feel "better" is by cutting, and pinching myself, even during treatment
 
Pretty fair to say you're blaming yourself, fighting yourself, hiding from yourself, running from yourself, & being consumed (fire) or so intent on your target or your escape that you miss the danger (fire) all around you... In your waking life?

If ever a dream needed a bucket of water.
