fell asleep had a PTSD dream woke up all in an hour
So here i am. I have the shakes and do desire a drink. But it will pass sometimes just one moment at a time. It is hard when you fear sleeping. I used to drive my partners crazy cause I'd toss and turn and cry out and I'm talking sleping not sex.
My ex was a medic in Iraq and he has really severe PTSD and is currently hospitalized.
PTSD is such a severe and difficult thing to struggle with. He used to wake up in the middle of the night in a panic. I felt really bad for him.
I am so sorry for your struggle with PTSD & for the trauma you experienced. I wish I could say more then that but there isn't too much to say. I hope you're on some kind of medication or in treatment that is VERY important for PTSD, I did A LOT of research on PTSD because it was related to my senior thesis product.
Good for you for not giving in & drinking. I'd imagine it's an even greater struggle with an anxiety disorder.
You are right, this too shall pass. It always does. Sleep will come, I hope it is dreamless for you.

All things come to pass , so shall this .
Here in the UK we have a classical music radio station called bbc radio 3 , i like to listen to that low volume and have an electric night light on , to make the right sleeping atmosphere.
I also have two bannanas before bed as they apparently encourage some nice sleepy chemicals in the body and give your stomach something nice and mushy to digest ,
Bestwishes, M

Its ok better already. When I can think it out and write it out its better. The past is past. i'm working on perfecting my laptop light. I will not feel sorry for myself. I made the choices I made. Except when I fell off my bike as a kid. War is Hell but what the heck.

Sometimes I just don't know what to say to try and make you feel better Fitz :<
I know that the more you do something, the more normal, (if I can use that word) easier it becomes in the end.
I suppose it's too early for breakfast ;>?

After I got home from a meeting tonight. Around midnight I got a bit hungry so I went into the kitchen for a snack.. Ended up an hour and half later with fresh handmade dumplings. With a pot of 2 pounds of sauerkraurt and 2 pounds of polish sausage.
I still do everything late at night.
Hope you get some more rest today my friend..
