Really severe nightmares and headache again. I'm worried

[Against_the_current]

Had a nightmare about mom going insane because she's single and dad has another family. The nightmare was really scary. She stalked him, murmured about him , and found out they are going on a vacation and was searching for a way to sabotage it. Then she locked grandma on the balcony and shoot me so she could keep dad in town. I just said "who's gonna take care of sis if you shoot me? They will think you're dangerous. She has just two years left, should she be living in institutions". Mom was like "i shoot you, your dad misses the holiday, and then we ressurect you" while taking a sip of her beer. Then she shot just my schoulder, saying an injury should be enough.Im having insane headache and nightmares. What if something is wrong with my brain? What if the veins in my brain are clagged?

I talked with my therapist yesterday but no time for this. Twice a month for half an hour. Tomorrow i have with my old Freudian therapist and wondering whether to cancel and whether she makes things worse but idk

I've have nightmares too, I wonder if it's part of depression..Theyre anxiety dreams. I know some meds make it worse.Freudian psychiatrists love to interpret dreams.

Yeah, they do love. Anxiety and ptsd for sure stem nightmares

My nightmares know no end. My worry and fear feeds them.I think it's good you can afford therapy. Don't stop.

Where I'm from, I can't even speak about my feelings without feeling weak. I carry the load with me everywhere I go

[Against_the_current in reply to Whistle_charm]

Mine too. I actually can't afford it, i just either go into a program for low cost therapy that is also really bad or just cut other things. Rn am broke. Also in my country i also can't talk about it, that's why I use this platform. Here we can share

do you believe in the spiritual world?

Kinda but it scares me. Especially when it comes to dreams

Not a psychiatrist, but some meds have nightmares/vivid dreams/night terrors as side effects. Be careful of that. Otherwise, I hate interpreting dreams because I know my anxiety causes some weird dreams and while I may be subconsciously really worried about whatever my dream was about, a lot of times my mind is overreacting; going a million miles a minute. A lot of the things I worry about, I really don’t need to. That’s anxiety and anxiety dreams/depression dreams for you. I wouldn’t worry too much, anxiety can be a jerk. It makes you overthink, worry about everything, etc. Take some time to do something that calms you or relaxes you. You’ll be okay.
