I kind of dread going to sleep tonight because last night I had some of the worst nightmares that just wouldn’t stop. What seemed to be the worst part was that I kept trying to wake myself up and I would think that it worked and I was awake I’d only find myself trapped in another nightmare. I’d try to wake myself up some more and this just kept repeating over and over so I never truly knew when I was awake.
I think at one point I managed to wake up briefly but I didn’t know if it was for real - I was about in tears and was asking my boyfriend if I’m really awake - I said that I can’t wake up and I don’t know what’s real.
He was kind of freaked out and said that I was making so much noise yelling in my sleep that he was surprised that I didn’t wake the children up in their bedrooms.
It’s possible that because I’d recently missed a dose of a couple of my meds those nightmares might have stemmed from that so maybe as long as I stay on track with my meds I might not go through that again in such a way.
This is also after a recent anxiety attack/meltdown I had at work. Usually after one of those I’m so depressed and fatigued that I mostly sleep for the next few days.
On the other hand I’m prone to nightmares anyway and its not unusual for me to yell, scream, kick, and cry in my sleep.
I don’t know- whatever the reason I dread falling asleep even though I’m exhausted.
