Not Sleeping Well, Nightmares Bad...

[Braedyn]

Halloween brings up some serious abuse anniversaries. So sleep sucks and the nightmares are worse.

Been feeling alone, so just wanted to put out there I am struggling, as it sounds like many are.

So maybe we are not all alone?

You're not alone. Halloween is a nasty time for me too though my trauma is different. I'm also sleeping a lot less...or when I am, it's pretty nasty. I've noticed too that many of us seem to be struggling more than usual these days.

Sleep is definitely a problem for me these days too.

You are never alone.

We are never alone.

But it can feel like it especially after a sleepless night and before everyone is up.

Here's to the storm ending soon.

It took me a long time... about the last year... to comprehend that when I feel alone, I am not feeling like the real me. I didn't even know there was a real me, just the one riddled with Crashed Thought Processes and ideations of demise.

So I really appreciate your post in response to feeling alone. You did the same thing, perceiving that no, you really aren't alone and it is just a glitch.

And the way out is through. How to be real is exactly this, sharing the true, flawed self in turmoil. Instead of hiding it back like a dark shadow self we don't want anyone to see.

Thank you for doing that.

Just knowing I am not alone really does help. I am still not sure exactly how it helps, but it does. I seem to have a different reason why each time it comforts me. Think I'll just let the mystery be.

Thanks, Braedyn.

Honestly I get sad around the 14 of October because that's when my gma died of cancer.

My time is coming up in the two weeks before Christmas. I have very bad dreams, or sad ones, but not quite nightmares. I'm hoping, since I worked through some grief and trauma processing, that this year will be better.

I'm sorry you are going through this.

I can sympathise with you, my sleep in non existent at the moment. Too many flashbacks throughout the day, which frightens me so much I dare close my eyes and try and sleep - just so that I don't have a nightmare.
