I don't really get a lot of Advice on this forum.. but I hope to gain some new freinds soon. Ive been having really Vivid and scary Nightmares i wake up at Night in Panic, shaking, short of breath and when I close my eyes I feel like Ian dizzy or something it's weird to explain. I hate this so much idk what to do anymore. I feel like Ian alone on this one. This is Not new to me I've had them before but they are coming back. I have a lot going on and Yes I do fall asleep very very Stressed out. Can this be All in my head or Just Massive Anxiety? Idk anymore......

Hi WhereIsFreedom, I'm sorry you don't get much advice on the forum. I know how frustrating it can be when we want answers and support in what we are dealing with and none is given. I understand how vivid and scary nightmares can wake you up in panic allowing for more symptoms to take over as well. In your case, oh I do believe you are experiencing the dreams and the panic and that it is not all in your head. I feel it could be a combination of massive/severe anxiety and/or medication induced.

I know when I was on certain medications, the dreams/nightmares were weird, scary and would prompt me to also wake up in a panic, panting, sweating and shaking. Some medications work on a part of our brain that is responsible in our dreaming. I know this to be true because once I was off the medications, the nightmares disappeared.

I'd talk with your doctor who prescribes your meds to see what he says. If you are working with a therapist, they too may be able to help you with the aftermath of waking up with these symptoms. That dizzy/weird to explain feelings can be coming from the medication or the rush of adrenaline upon having these dreams.

I hope you get more answers and feel less alone in dealing with something most of us experience both good and bad. Stay positive. I know you've been through this for a while now but it will eventually pass and things will get better. xx
