Trauma/night terrors

Rose113Rose113 Community Champion Posts: 2,532 Boards Guru
All the trauma from the past keeps coming back up especially at night, last night I asked my boyfriend to stay on ft with me till I fell asleep and then earlier I asked my other friend if she can do the same tonight.

The trauma stuff is making sleeping feel unsafe without someone “on guard” :(
Want to hurt me… go ahead
Wish to bully me…I’m used to it
Want to talk crap about me…go on then
Want to make me cry…feel free

    That sounds super scary to be going through right now. Having nightmares ain't fun I know the feeling especially during the night time too. Our brains try to trick us in thinking things sometimes. What I tend to do is to tell myself that nightmares are real and are kind of what our brain conjures up in a way. Is there anything you find calming you can do before bedtime which could ease these nightmares?. It's good that you had a friend and your boyfriend to stay with you and it shows that they care all about you too. It sounds like a good plan to have. I hope your OK right now. Sending hugs,

    That sounds like a nice thing to do before bed. I kind of do the same sometimes. It's nice to just put on a few relaxing tunes to relax our brains. So then when we go to bed we feel good too <3. That sounds like a good coping strategy potentially .
