what would you do in this situation

you live alone and struggle with trauma from your past...you suffer loneliness too as you have no support network apart from your elderly parents...you go to bed one very dark night and you awaken in the night from a disturbing nightmare...and you feel scared and shaken....but there's no one to call or talk too about it as your elderly parents live far away and you can't call them as they are fast asleep in bed..

this has been the situation i have sometimes had, and it is very scary, when you feel utterly alone....what do you do?

1. Get out of the house. It could be something small like a walk or volunteering for a few hours a week.

2. Connect with your elderly parents, they won't be around forever.

3. Keep yourself occupied, when you have nothing to do it can make you feel ten times more lonely than you already feel.

If I woke up from a horrible nightmare, I would probably distract myself by getting something to eat and turning on the TV.

Call lifeline (or whatever they call it where you live) it is open 24 hours and people will listen
