Hey Guys,
For a few weeks now, i stopped remembering my nightmares. Instead i was waking up in the middle of the night and harming myself. I couldn't remember that either and i ended up close monitor just so i wouldnt do more serious damage.
Im in psychodynamic therapy and my therapist believes that the things i was doing to myself i should have seen it in my dreams instead of doing it reality. I was still waking up in terror and disoriented.
For about 2 weeks now my doctor put me on high dose of Trilleptal, stopped my fluxil and we are in the process of stopping Topamax, Seroquel and Valium too. I did EEG scan and it showed nothing so its nothing more than psychological,
ANW that was not my question. My question is. I wake up everysingle night as if in panic attack and dissoriented because im seeing my abuser above me. It happens more than once each night. I can manage to fall back to sleep. The past few days i started remembering my dreams again. And its all about my sexual abuse. The thing is that i wake up and I'm not exactly sure if they happen in reality too (i have what is called psychogenic amnesia). I spend the whole day remembering it and it's really driving me crazy.
Does it happens to any of you? Could traumatic events happen like 7-8 years ago come as nightmares now or maybe your mind could be messing up with me?
Thank you.
Really confused
