#cptsd nightmares

Has anyone ever had a meltdown in a dream before?

I had some really bad dreams last night, which isn’t that unusual for me (C-PTSD), but at the end of them I had what felt like a meltdown in the dream and then it carried over into me waking up. My meltdowns are usually very contained (crying, bunching up, etc), but this was very different and more intense (?) screaming and throwing my arms and hitting my head…

I’m just wondering if anyone else has ever had something like this happen

The one thing that people don't like to talk about when they have cptsd, is night terrors.

The night terrors was about, where a person was chasing me and this kid. Suddenly I was alone and all I had was my torch, I was looking for this kid and then I turned around; this person was eating the child. All I could see the feet in its mouth as it was sucking the child in. Then I woken up.

I'm pretty shook right now.

The Harsh Reality of Fourth of July and PTSD

Sleep eludes my tired mind. I lay awake, tossing and turning, replaying trauma like an affirmation: I am not safe. I am not safe. Every thundering boom of fireworks, do not send happiness radiating through my veins but strong, persistent, fear. Currently, it’s the morning of the Fourth, nursing my first cup of coffee and using every grounding technique imaginable preparing for another sleepless night.

For survivors of PTSD, I see you.

I hear you.

Take solace in comfort (television shows and music) and remember this will pass.

It’s after 1 am here now. I cannot sleep it’s like I have no control over the fears in the deep vivid dreams, I can’t wake myself up, I’m afraid of what I’ll see think or feel in my dreams, it doesn’t feel safe, and so I’m powerless. I fight sleep. Add in the ptsd from what happened and the injuries. Add in the past decades of unresolved cptsd and ohhhhh my!

So if you need me I’m somewhere in the dark ruminating while in social media “living my best life” 🤷🏻‍♀️
