What do you do when you have a bad night terror?

Today my therapist told me that when I have them, I have to sit up, put my feet on the ground, put on a warm dressing gown because it's comforting, make tea and sit somewhere else until I calm down. Then I can go back to bed with a hot water bottle or something warm.

That actually sounds quite sensible. I'm surprised. Has your therapist been taking "good idea" pills??? 😉😆😆😊

@Manfredthemanic aI think everyone scares themself with Dr Google......😱😆😆😉 I have a large fluffy elephant I hug sometimes ( if I don't want to wake up Crabbie 😊)

@Fluffybull Yes, and I was obsessed with Dr Google. 🙈
An elephant? That's cool! I have a few animals too. My hot water bottle is a fluffy animal. 🐕🙈 What about Gund?

@Manfredthemanic Gund is nearby but the elephant is huge and better to hug! I'll post you a pic of them later so you can see the sizes 😆

I get up and put on my heavyweight hoodie and get back into bed so that I feel somewhat secure.

@Freddie6901 Is that like a hug? When I have a nightmare, hugs help me. 😊

@Manfredthemanic Something like that I guess.
