Nightmares And Bed Wetting

[anonymous]

Hi all,

I'm to embarrassed to put my name to this. Being a grown women in her very late 40's...... Nearly 50. I have terrible nightmares and wake terrified. I have started to wet the bed. The nightmares are so frightening that I get so scared that I must wet myself in the nightmare. :(. I feel so bad and don't know if anyone else has ever had this problem :(:(:(:(:(

Your not alone there, when I wake up from my nightmares, my brain takes a while to register where I am, as my nightmares are so realistic, being that they are horrible flashbacks from my past?

It's during that time that I sometimes loose bladder control, but fortunately it's only a little bit, but still embarrassing, thankfully I live alone now but my late wife understood the situation, good luck and don't worry.

Maybe it's caused by some medication you are taking?

The same thing happened to me for a while until I built the courage to talk to my psychiatrist. I was taking clonazepam to sleep and apparently that made my sleep too deep. I stopped taking it and the problem stopped.

You are not alone. This happens to me. I don't understand. This happened years ago when I was a teenager. Lately my nightmares have been more often. I just don't understand why I went so long

Hi OP here,

Thanks for the replies, it isn't meds as I haven't changed anything in that department. I just wake up terrified and have got so scared I've wet the bed. Sometimes it's only a bit other times it's a lot. I just don't know what to do. I've told my therapist, sort of so will try and bring the subject up again this week.

I'm having the same problem..

Don't hold back, just tell your therapist, after all your sessions are confidential, and they are not there to judge you,they are there to help you, so just explain the situation to them.

I don't receive therapy any more, and I wish now that I had shared more information at the time, maybe that's why they stopped my therapy altogether, they said that, "I wasn't responding quickly enough, and that I had too many issues over my lifetime"

What ever it was, I miss them now?

That's horrible.. none of that is an excuse!! Can you try to find a different place to go?
