I want the nightmares to stop

[Littlecook]

I want the nightmares to stop I can't relive them again, I can't go through that life again how do I stop them ?

I am sorry to hear that nightmares are a problem for you.When I had them, the broken sleep was horrible and so was the next day. My doctor prescribed a sedative to give me at least 6 hours of sleep.

The second thing was taking myself back to therapy sessions with a clinical psychologist rather than a therapist. If you can get to the root cause of the nightmares, and work it through over 6-8 sessions, life can get a lot easier.

Then, with a bit of luck, wean yourself of the 💊 .

Hi Littlecook. I have heard EMDR therapy is very effective for dealing with past trauma. It is worth a try if you can get access to it. youtube.com/watch?v=KpRQvcW...(Not working as expected?) If you can find someone who specalises in trauma (not everyone has this specialty). We are all behind you getting well. Take care.

Please take all of your troubles to God. I know what you're probably thinking, that either you don't believe or it doesn't do any good. But the closer you get to Jesus and his Heavenly Father and putting your faith in both, then your life will feel calmer. Talking to someone can be of help; a therapist who deals with traumatic cases can help you to get past the nightmares and memories. May God bless you, and I hope you start to feel much better.

thank you for sharing, but it sucks when we are in those moments. I was in an intensive outpatient group where one of my group mates was taking a ptsd medication that was helping them. DBT helps me.
