Ptsd nightmares

They ruin your whole day. For me I don’t actually have nightmares of specific events I just have really horrible nightmares and wake up crying or jolting usually because I am fighting in my dream and end up kicking and wake myself up

For example, I had a nightmare that both of my children got kidnapped. I knew exactly who did it. I went to his house and tried to confront him and he wouldn’t let me in. His neighbor told me now that I showed up and confronted him he was going to move. The entire dream I was searching for my kids endlessly. I was tired and couldn’t even go to bed and go to sleep. I was crying the entire dream until I woke up crying

I had a lot of important things that I had to do today. I’m not really able to do anything because of the nightmare I had. I don’t really feel comfortable expressing this one. At five pm my sons grandpa is going to help me do one of the errands

I am very disappointed in myself but I am not going to beat myself up. I like to think about this picture I think today I am “your” and “different”

Not really nightmares per say as this happens when im awake but I'm always afraid to start new places like a job or a school because of being treated poorly for pretty much a long time. Im having bad anxiety about starting a new job because ive been conditioned to assume im going to be disrespected and treated like shit and that nobody thinks i have worth. Ive legit self sabotaged a ton of opportunities in my life because of this. Oh youll never get as good as pay as here or youll never get the flexibility or the health benefits as here. Nobody will believe in you blah blah

@TempuraShrimp I just think you need a little more confidence 🙂 you deserve to get paid well. You are enough. Sometimes we all self sabotage. Don’t beat yourself up. Just use those as learning experiences to progress you in the future when you try again

If you learn from a mistake it was never a mistake

@DeluxedEdition Confidence is key but then again I'm someone who has always struggled with that. I swear this current job was doing their damndest to break me but I didn't let them do it. I guess that counts for something
