I Have Ptsd Nightmares And Flashbacks

I don't especially want to be the first writing about this, but I do get both nightmares and flashbacks as symptoms from my PTSD.
I don't get flashbacks all that often. Strangely enough, I get these times where it feels like a flashback and I go through all of those feelings that I did during the accidents but I don't see anything to go along with it like I usually do.
My nightmares used to be horrible. I was having six or seven a night for all but like two or three days out of a month. It was horrible. I got scared of sleeping, so I'd stay up until three and four in the morning and have to be up for school by seven thirty. Luckily, I'm only getting a couple a month now. Two or three a week at most. (:

Im afraid of sleeping too...i don't sleep until im really tired
It's complicated. I hope you're getting counseling & being medicated. It truly helps.
@Cherokeeprincess: I'll continue I'll probably just find a different counselor.
I'm doing well enough. Thank you though.
@boklenholley7: I've been going to the same one for 6 years & now I'm in the process of finding a new one. You sound like a wise young lady. Thanks for the opportunity to comment.
@Cherokeeprincess: I wish you the best of luck in your search. Thank you (:

Do you know what the root cause of your ptsd is?
Yeah. A four wheeler crash I had when I was thirteen

I'm sorry. It must have been very traumatic
@mazza62: It was. I thought my grandma was dead for about an hour and I had a panic attack for as long as she was unconscious.. Then off and on when I thought about it for the next week or so. It was horrible.
