I’m a nurse and lately my PTSD is out of control. I’ve noticed mornings are the worst...any advice is welcome. On my days off I wake up at 6:30 and I feel sick to my stomach. My chest is pounding and my breathing is shallow and I’m scared to get up. I have the recurring thought of “what’s the point. I’m sick of feeling this way...I’m so tired.” I do think about suicide because that feeling in the morning is terrible. I see a psychiatrist, a therapist, I’ve been hospitalized before....and I’m even in the middle of TMS...but this feeling in the morning is so intense.
I guess my question is, am I alone? What do I need to do to get through the morning fear.......I try to go back to sleep...but they are scary dreams. I’m relying heavily on my Xanax, and even that doesn’t get rid of the morning fear.
