My night terrors can take a chill pill now 🥹

The other night I woke up as I grabbed my man’s arm and threw it off me 🥹 He woke up too and as I woke up I was like oh shit sorry… I just felt pinned down and trapped in my dream and panicked 🙄

Then last night I dreamt that a guy from my past knocked on the door and that I saw his face, I woke up shaking and fucking terrified, like I started thinking what to do, and that I would die if he got inside..

I always wake up feeling disoriented too, so it takes some time to realize that it was a dream and that I’m safe..

Feel bad for my husband having to deal with me tho 😂😂 Like he’s sleeping all peacefully and then I grab his arm and try to throw it away 😂😂😂😭😭😭

Those sound like night terrors. Normal for people with PTSD but that doesn't make it any easier. So sorry to hear that you are going through this. I'm not sure what would help but I find that meditating on something positive before sleep helps me a bit when I go through a rough patch.

@SW-User My ADHD brain lets me replace old memories with new memories constantly which helps during waking hours but I frequently remember a lot more when sleeping and never the good parts.
